My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.

Most definitely, my dad was my biggest influence.

As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

On my best days, I fancy myself a combination of Dad's persistence/patience and Mom's toughness/skepticism.

my mom and dad, the upbringing we had.

Mom [Valerie] and Dad would like to be around their grandchildren.
