Kristofer Joseph, Experience Developer at Adobe, father of Kole, 2 1/2.

"I’ve learned more than I could have ever imagined from being a dad. For one, it taught me that I didn't know a damn thing about love before having Kole. It has taught me how to be really present, not just around. In our day-to-day lives we bustle about constantly, staring at our phones and never giving ourselves time to truly appreciate what we are doing or the people we are with. Children won't stand for that. They rightfully demand your best self and it has been a blessing to have someone to constantly remind me to live a life of purpose."
