Just a Dad Thing
My name isn't important. What matters is the life behind this brand.I'm a 46-year-old dad working 4am shifts at Costco in San Diego. My wife Angie works at a different Costco on a different shift — she goes in at 11am — so that one of us is always home with our 4-year-old daughter Nadiya. It's not a glamorous system, but it's ours and it works.Nine months ago I had gastric sleeve surgery. I'm 110 pounds down and still going. In between my shifts and Nadiya's pickup, I found a 90-minute window every day — and instead of wasting it, I built something with it.Workout plans that fit a dad's schedule. Meal guides that feed a family with three different needs from one kitchen. DIY blueprints for projects I actually build with my own hands.That's Just a Dad Thing. No fitness influencers. No unrealistic meal plans. No woodworking content that assumes you have a $10,000 shop. Just the real stuff — built by a real dad, for real dads.This is about being present for Nadiya. Being a better husband to Angie. And proving that a 4am Costco worker with a gastric sleeve and a 4-year-old can still build something worth being proud of.Welcome to Just a Dad Thing. I'm glad you're here.
