Father's Day Special Section

Being a dad to a girl is about showing her the respect she deserves, supporting her dreams and making sure she believes she can do anything. And listening to a lot of Taylor Swift.

Ella Rae is my little ray of sunshine! Since the day God blessed me with her, I knew there was a bond that couldn't be broken. Her smile lights up my heart. It's an honor to be her father and be called to love teach and protect her throughout her life.

~Bryan Mullin, Ella's dad

Simply put, words can not fully describe the feelings I have towards my daughter C.J. however, I am very blessed to have experienced her grow through the years personally and professionally. To see her now as a mother herself brings even more love and joy to my soul and reminds me of just how lucky I am.

~Mike Fisher, C.J.'s dad

As I look back over my life and ponder the memories and experiences, I must admit that the greatest and most rewarding thing I have been a part of is being the Dad to 3 amazing daughters. They have taught me to always look for the beauty in the moment and have shaped and molded me to the man I am today! Watching them grew and become amazing, thoughtful women is truly a wonderful gift.

-Tom Tilford, Kayleigh, Malenya & Molly's Dad

Being a father to my daughter Taylor was a great learning experience. I learned how to do pigtails, coach micro soccer, become part Irish to fit in at Irish dance performances, and many more firsts. All the while, hoping to make a positive impact by example while empowering her to be a fun-loving , adventurous, and compassionate individual. From the second she came into this world, my daughter has brightened my heart. When she was just two, we would ride around Coronado singing “T-A-Y, LO-R, that’s the way you spell Taylor;” ever since that amazing feat, she continues to be the best at everything she goes after. I have been so proud to be her father, because as a father I take credit for the wonderful woman she has become.

~David Udell , Taylor’s Dad

Having twin boys as my first children felt like the blessing it was...and then, Michelle Rose was born! We share a special closeness and love for one another, as she chose to stay in Coronado to raise her family. We see each other often and share memories, reminding me how fortunate I am to have a daughter to love and care for.

~Phil Hammett, Michelle's Dad

It is an Honor and Privilege to be Tori's Dad. She is a kinf, loving and very thoughtful Daughter. God has entrusted me as Tori's Father and I plan to continue to honor that responsibility to the best of my abilities! Love you Tori!

Troy Wiegel, Tori's Dad

I am so extremely blessed to be the dad of three amazing daughters. They mean the world to me. Each of my girls are so unique and bring so much joy to my life. They definitely make me strive to be a better person. I am proud to be their role model, protector, and someone they can trust. I love being a girl dad!

I have been blessed to work with my daughter Kate “officially” since she graduated from college. (Kate thinks she has been running my office since she was in middle school!) Obtaining her license in 2006 and her Broker’s license in 2012, Kate has successfully juggled a real estate career while raising two precocious daughters. But it’s still my office Kate!
