Welcome to the Dad Man

Fathers are a powerful, yet largely untapped resource in our society. On this site, you will learn how men can be better fathers, and how everyone can activate fathers to help enrich and strengthen our families, communities, organizations, workplaces, and schools.

Joe Kelly—The Dad Man—is a father, author, speaker, blogger, activist and consultant. He is the recognized expert in the field of fatherhood you’ve been looking for.

Author of 7 books and editor of 4 more, Joe is a leading voice for engaged, responsible fathering and stepfathering, influential advocate for children and families, and a skilled advisor to socially-responsible organizations.

“The best job Joe Kelly ever had is being a father. His care and common sense resonate through every page of his easy-to-read books and resources. The biggest secret going is that these are also wonderful resources for moms, kids and fathers-to-be.”
