Master Chef David Thomas ‘05 (@lunchboxboss) pictured with his beautiful children David (10) and Noah (10). What does 'Fatherhood' mean to you?: Fatherhood means everything to me. It is my most important job. But it is more than just a job, it is much more like a lifestyle. You have to find yourself in order to continually give of yourself to your Kids and Spouse. That part of it that makes it a Lifestyle choice to me, because you can't half step at it. You got to be all in.... Fatherhood Means Being All In. What's been the biggest challenge in your Fatherhood journey?: The biggest challenge has been reconciling my own childhood disappointments and traumas, to be able to create a family space that I wanted. What's been the most rewarding portion of your Fatherhood journey?: Seeing My Sons Grow and how they have helped Me Grow. General Fatherhood advice?: Take care of everyday. There are no gimme days. There are no cheat days. Be present. Do you have anything else you'd like to share about Fatherhood?: Fatherhood is Amazing. #morehousecelebratesfatherhood
