Fathering From Day One

A 4-workshop series for first time dads

Sundays In March 2026

A series of 4 workshops, held on Sundays in March with other dads, led by a dad, with babies there too.

You learn stuff, mum gets a break because you have baby, and we’ll eat croissants and drink coffee.

Tell me a better win-win, I dare you.

Why do workshops?

Because parenting a newborn is fcked. Beautiful, but very much fcked. But it can be less fcked if you can be fcked learning some basic strategies that experienced parents know about.

Fatherhood Guide & Facilitator

I help men grow into great fathers by preparing them for birth and early fatherhood - because when when fully show up, families and culture thrive. I have over a decade of experience designing and delivering programs that support men, families, and communities through major life transitions. My professional background spans law, education, and social-emotional learning.

I’m a father of two, and have been with my wife for over 15 years. Like many men, fatherhood asked more of me than I expected. Raising Fathers was born from this intersection of lived experience and the work I’ve done in education, designing programs for people globally.

In 2025 I personally supported more than 60 expectant and new dads to prepare for birth, navigate the early months of parenting, and strengthen their relationships during one of the most demanding seasons of life.

My work has been featured SBS Insight and across podcasts and media platforms focused on modern fatherhood, mental health, and relationships.
