Started a family with a puppy, then kids, and retired grandparents within 10 minutes of our house. Growing family needed two parent income but unable to secure family childcare provider (Rocco and Mia's retired grandparents). I began my journey as an entrepreneur so that I could work multiple jobs (securing the two parent income) so that my wife could raise the kids without the support of my retired parents.
