Welcome to Suburban Dads!
Suburban Dads’s purpose is to inspire, rally, challenge, sharpen, inform and encourage suburban dads across the country. We’re not political or parochial. We’re just dads, husbands, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who need some occasional encouragement, adventure, and humor – and maybe a beer every so often – to navigate life in the ‘burbs!
A Little About Me
My name is Jeff Carpenter. I’m the husband of an amazing wife of over 25 years , a dad to four “kids” (22, 20, 17, 14 ), a Marine Corps Veteran of over 20 years (ooh-rah), a church goer (but I like my IPAs & occasional whisky) and a man determined to build some community with other suburban dads.
What We’re About
There is no end to parenting wisdom, marriage help, work advice and recreation suggestions on the internet. This site hopes to have a dash of all of these, but also something else. Suburban Dads is about developing a virtual community of men across America who have a few things in common: they work hard to support their family, they struggle with being the best dad/husband/friend/co-worker they can, and they could use some encouragement and camaraderie along the way. Check out our blog to get some of both!
Through the voice of seasoned dads/husbands/professionals, Suburban Dads hopes to do all of the above. We’re here to be a rallying point for all dads – suburban, urban, rural or nomadic. I just happen to be a dad who has spent most of his life in the suburbs!
