About The Decent Dad
Imperfect Fatherhood, Real Love
I’m not the world’s greatest dad.
I don’t have color-coded chore charts, homemade bento-box lunches, or a parenting podcast with my toddler as a co-host.
I’m a Decent Dad.
I show up. I try. I love my family.
And I mess up… a lot.
The Decent Dad was born from that tension — between who we think we’re supposed to be as fathers and who we actually are at 6:47 AM when someone is screaming for snacks and no one has clean socks.
Why “Decent”?
Some dads are “#1 Dad.” Some are “World’s Best.”
I realized one day that I don’t really relate to that. I’m more like:
The dad who used to sterilize every bottle…
…but now has a kid who eats dirt and drinks splash-pad water like it’s vintage champagne.
The dad who can build the crib, but might need YouTube open the whole time.
The dad who loves his wife, respects her brilliance as a mom — and sometimes feels like a solid 7 married to a parenting 10.
“Decent” isn’t about being mediocre.
It’s about being honest.
It’s about saying:
“I may not get it right every time, but I’m here, I care, and I’m willing to grow.”
Who I Am
My name is Isaac. I’m a husband, a dad, a storyteller, and a man who has made a whole career out of talking about love, relationships, and the messiness of being human.
I’ve spent years hosting conversations where people tell the truth about who they are — not the polished version. The Decent Dad is that same energy, applied to fatherhood.
I’m a Black dad raising a Black son in a world that has all kinds of ideas about who we’re supposed to be. So yes, there’s humor, but there’s also heart, responsibility, and a real desire to show up better — for my child, my wife, and myself.
