1. My name is Matt Witkowski. I'm from Sparta (Grand Rapids) MI. 2. My dad was always around and supported me in my interests. He was a very serious and reserved guy and I was more a social butterfly like my mother. He showed up for games, took me out on the water, in the woods and even though we are different people there is a mutual appreciation of what each person brings to our relationship. 3. I love the idea of connecting with other fathers in different parts of the country and sharing stories, questions and celebrating life with other men who take the role of being a father seriously and finding ways to be better dads everyday. I hope to help bring thoughts, ideas and questions to the group to help this program grow and reach more dads. Can't wait to get started!
