"Someone asked me, what are some of your favorite parts about being a girl dad? It's fun. It's the best. It is amazing because I get to see what the world is like through the eyes of little girls. It's full of craziness and keep me busy and active. I love my girls. They're so kind to me."

He continued:

"They're always being so nice to their papa. And I appreciate that. And I think if I had boys, maybe they would be too. But I don't think they could possibly be as sweet as my little girls are. So I love being a girl dad. It gives me more empathy. I think it makes me just a better businessman."
