KLIMHow many kids do you have and what are their ages?
2 kids (3.5 and 1.5)
What is your greatest ‘Dad moment’ outside of your kid(s) birth?
Seeing Stella swim on her own for the first time and Rocco taking his first step.
What’s the most rewarding thing about being a Dad?
Constant unconditional love and hugs
What drives you crazy about being a Dad?
The early wake up as I thought I had my fair share and three year old tantrums, not fun
What’s your kid’s favorite meal that is made by you? Would you like to share that recipe with us?
Stella loves sushi and Rocco likes gnocchi with tomato sauce, Lindy also makes a mean banana cake on weekends and that certainly hits  the spot with the entire family.
What’s your response to “Dad we’re bored”?
Luckily I don’t hear it to often but my kids love Dora so in a
time of crisis Dora saves the day.

What’s the best holiday you’ve done with the kids and why?
Bali has been the most fun to date we try and go at least once a
year. The kids love going to the beach, meeting and playing with the local kids which is great for their cultural upbringing not to mention the weather.

If there was one piece of advice you would give to a new dad what would it be?
I never thought that I would say it because I heard it so much
myself and that was to cherish every moment with the kids as they grow up so quickly. I try to let my kids personality come out so we are fairly relaxed which helps to.
