Welcome to the very first episode of The Dad Side! I’m excited to kick things off with a special guest—my father-in-law, Ernesto Paredes. A retired military veteran and devoted husband, Ernesto is a man who leads by example and lives his life grounded in faith.

He’s not just a father to my wife; he’s a role model to many. Known for his incredible patience and unwavering support, Ernesto has single-handedly created several fatherhood initiatives within school districts, making a lasting impact on the community.

As a pillar in both his community and church, he is loved and respected by all who know him. Today, he’s here to share his insights, experiences, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
