As we continue the Life of Dad’s 30 Dads for 30 Days today we will showcase my friend Brian Howlett. I have known Brian since high school. I never had any brothers, but Brian is one of my friends who I consider a brother. He and I love to talk about sports. He is a fan of all New England teams. One thing I will tell you is that he is very competitive. No matter if he is playing sports in real life or playing video games he will want to win.
This past year he and his wife Meg were blessed with their first child Isabelle. She is an adorable little girl and is lucky to have great parents. When Brian and Meg came to visit us and meet our daughters I saw how natural he was with kids. After seeing how great he was with my kids I knew he would be a great father. He is an amazing dad and I am glad that he is part of this event here at Life of Dad.
