Tom and Bill began their friendship as university administrators who started sharing perspectives on raising children (Tom’s two daughters, Bill’s two sons). Very quickly, they discovered they were not alone in sometimes feeling challenged, confused and often clueless. Having searched the shelves of the local library and bookstores, they found little to help, and worse, there really wasn’t anyone else to talk to about the challenges of being a dad. So, already authors in their own right, they began writing together about fatherhood and soon became speakers and syndicated columnists. Their book, Dads2Dads : Tools for Raising Teenagers, provides practical, humorous, and touching commentary from two dads who have survived the hope, heartache and happenings of raising kids.
