First Generation Father initiative

The First Generation Father Initiative is an opportunity for you to help me deliver this life changing book directly into the hands of readers who need it most. You may contribute to one of the specific groups of readers identified below, or select “other” and simply write in where you’d like your donation to go.

Why did I start the First Generation Father Initiative?

My mission is to help others heal from past traumas, teach them how to establish genuinely loving relationships, and empower them to break the devastating cycle of family dysfunction that has left so many of us with debilitating scars. This book, First Generation Father, can do that.

Unfortunately, many of the people who need it most will never get a chance to read it. They’re so focused on fighting the immediate fires in their family lives, they don’t have the time or resources to seek out the critical help this book can provide. That’s where you come in.

By contributing to the First Generation Father Initiative, you can help me deliver this transformational book directly into the hands of families who need it most. Families who are often fighting for their very survival. To help, simply select a group that you’d like to donate to, and follow the link. All proceeds go toward the purchase and delivery of books to someone in the group of your choosing.

Why am I focusing on these particular groups?

Why am I focusing on these particular groups?

  • I chose to focus on military families because during my time in the army, I saw first-hand just how important a healthy and happy home life is to soldier readiness and effectiveness. I also saw that, like myself, lots of soldiers come from broken homes and challenging backgrounds.

  • I chose to focus on families in counseling because any family honest enough to recognize their problems, and courageous enough to seek out professional help, should get all the support they need.

  • Lastly, I chose to focus on prisons and jails because I know how devastating incarceration is to families. My own father served ten years in state prison, and it left a wake of trauma and confusion for myself – an his other children – to try to navigate and escape from.

One principle I learned in the army is that true leadership means being of service to others. By contributing to the First Generation Father Initiative, you are being of service to others when they need it most. Thank you for your help.

Love and respect,

Thank you so much for your generous donations! Some of the funds had already been paid forward to deserving people and organizations in need.

Dr. Akhtar, one of Austin's top orthopedic surgeons, sponsored several copies of First Generation Father to an amazing local program called the PACE School (Pflugerville Academic and Career Education).

The PACE principal, Mr. Harvey, is doing great things for young people and their families.

I'm honored that these altruistic gentlemen see my book as a valuable resource that may help empower and uplift students, parents, and educators alike.

I'd like to thank Jeff Nelson, Brett Smith, Miss Devottee, and Miss Lisa for their generous donations to the First Generation Father Initiative.

Thanks to these good people, 15 copies of First Generation Father were sent out to various prisons across the country.

Their donations will be a blessing to many. And may very well help someone (who is in a terrible situation) recognize their untreated mental and emotional wounds, learn how to heal them, and evolve into the person their family needs them to be.

Your kindness will find its way back to you and your loved ones 1,000 times over. I'm sure of it
