Since the beginning of time, humans have been storytellers. Around campfires, at dinner tables, in rocking chairs on front porches. Stories have shaped who we are, how we see the world, and the legacy we leave behind.
But there's something different about the way a dad tells a story.
Maybe it's the way he brings the past to life, turning a simple memory into an epic adventure. Maybe it's the way he adds just enough exaggeration to keep you wondering where the truth ends and the legend begins. Or maybe it's the way his stories-whether hilarious, unbelievable, or downright ridiculous-become part of the family's DNA, woven into the identity of the home, passed down like heirlooms, shaping the culture of the next generation.
This book is full of those stories.
Not just any stories-my stories. The ones I lived, the ones I retold, the ones that have become lore in my own home. Some are wild, some are heartfelt, some might make you shake your head-but they all serve as proof that fatherhood is more than just raising kids. It's creating a history worth telling.
Dad Lore: True Stories, Real Adventures, and How Fathers Become Legends is a hilarious, heartwarming, and occasionally heroic collection of true tales from a dad who's been there, done that, and probably has the scar to prove it. From flaming fiberglass to first crushes, scooter showdowns to sleepover disasters, each chapter captures the chaos and charm of boyhood and the wisdom that comes from surviving it.
Perfect for dads, grandfathers, and the families who love them, Dad Lore is a reminder that every dad is a storyteller. Some just don't realize it yet.
Now, let's begin.
