Speaking

Hello. I’m Matthew, the founder of DADS™— Dads Against Devices™, thank you for being here.

I started DADS™ because like many fathers, I’m really concerned about the outcomes I see in families today: anxiety, unhappiness, digital dependence, disconnection, and a loss of presence. Whilst I don’t have all the answers, I’m committed to helping my family and others to be present, build relationships, and nurture character.

One way I do this is through speaking — to youth, fathers, and parents — in schools, churches, retreats, and small group settings.

Who I Speak To.

Young People

I speak to students and young adults about the dangers of technology and the need for clear boundaries. My talks are encouraging, real, and focused on helping them to build real relationships and develop the essential human skills necessary to thrive emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Fathers

I speak to fathers about leadership by example — how to live the DADS™ pledge at home. I offer practical ideas, hopeful vision, and encouragement to DADS™ who want to lead their families and raise healthy children.

Parents

I speak to parents about creating unity in the home — where children see boundaries, empathy, love and presence modeled and encouraged daily. I invite moms and dads to lead together with purpose and grace so their children grow up in a home where connection, presence, and developing character are important.

Let’s Talk

If you’re interested in having me speak with your group — whether in person or virtually — I’d love to hear more. Let’s connect and see what we can arrange.

From my home,

Matthew
