Man of the Hour: Justin Tarsiuk

35 years old / Married 

Father of:  

Rocco (2)

What has been your biggest adventure as a father?

"My biggest adventure with Rocco has to have been our cross-country move from Los Angeles to New York. Seeing him readjust to a new city at 22 months old has been awesome to watch. He’s made new friends, fallen in love with the subway system, eats a ton of bagels and he enjoys NY pizza from our friend Vinny. I love experiencing the beauty of this great city through his perspective and zeal for life."

What advice would you like to give to fellow dads?

"I would say to dads everywhere that raising children is less about making them to be something, and more about directing them to who God has already created them to be. The process of shaping is harder because it takes frequent and intentional doses of patience, understanding and empathy. But in the end, the result of who they are and the state of your relationship with them will be even greater."
