Welcome to The Dadly One! My name is Jesse, and I’m a dad navigating the beautiful chaos of raising two kids while balancing a professional career in real estate development. Life as a parent is full of adventures, challenges, and lessons, and this blog is where I share my journey, reflections, and advice for other dads (and parents) who are on a similar path.

I’ve known my wife Meghan, for over a decade, and together, we’re raising our two amazing kids, Elliot and Eamon. Parenthood has taught me so much about myself, but it is most amazing watching my wife thrive with our kiddos!

Beyond being a dad, I’m also a VP of Asset Management for a vertically integrated real estate developer. I thrive on problem-solving at work, but nothing compares to solving the “what’s-for-dinner” mystery or assembling the latest impossible toy.

The Dadly One is my space to talk about everything from dad hacks and funny parenting moments to the art of balancing a demanding career with being fully present at home. You’ll also find musings on life, personal growth, and some light-hearted takes on the joys (and occasional headaches) of family life.

When I’m not blogging, you may find me streaming simulation games, on TikTok, eating chips, or getting into the whatever my ADHD has me into in that moment.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this blog inspires you, makes you laugh, and reminds you that even in the wildest moments, you’re not alone in this dad journey. Let’s embrace the ride together!
