From board games to coaching others, these dads are doing it right. In addition, if there are any other dads that you think we should check out leave their name and info in the comment section below.
Dad Entrepreneurs
Jim Moran
Semper Smart Games creator Jim Moran is a retired Coast Guard officer. In addition he has also been an SAT and ACT tutor for almost two decades. He invented the patent pending PlaySmart Dice system. Jim did this to ensure his daughters achieved fluency in the essential math operations he saw many students struggle with as they prepared for college entrance exams. With his game Election Night!, he wanted to help his daughters learn other things we should know like U.S. geography and the mechanics of the Electoral College. Most importantly, he wanted all kids to have fun with games that encourage them to think big things like running for and becoming President of the United States.
