About A Note From Dad
A Message That Became a Movement
A Note From Dad began as a simple idea: share the kind of wisdom, encouragement, and love that every child should receive from their father. What started as handwritten notes and online posts grew into a social media community, a best-selling book, and a growing library of stories meant to inspire dads—and those longing for the presence of one.
Founded by a career firefighter, husband, and father of five, A Note From Dad was born from real-life lessons, painful seasons, and a deep conviction that fatherhood is a calling worth showing up for—every single day.
Today, we serve not only fathers, but anyone seeking authentic encouragement and practical wisdom. Whether you’re a dad, mentor, coach, or grown adult still healing from a father wound, you’re welcome here.
We’re not perfect dads. But we’re present. And we’re growing.

Our Mission
To encourage fathers—and a fatherless generation—with stories, wisdom, and truth that remind them who they are, what they’re capable of, and why they matter.
Through blog ‘notes’, books, social content, merchandise, and coaching, we help men:
Lead with character and consistency
Show up with clarity, conviction, and purpose
Turn past pain into present growth
Leave a legacy their kids will be proud of
At A Note From Dad, we believe every note, whether written or spoken, is a seed. When planted with purpose and nurtured by truth and love, it’s capable of growing a legacy in the heart of a child.
