In 2008, Hugh started DudetoDad.com as a genuine cry for help from an ordinary dude who wanted to be an extraordinary dad. Dude to Dad has grown to include 85,000 new fathers, an Amazon Parenting #1 Bestseller (Dude to Dad: The First Nine Months), and two additional books currently in development.
Hugh is also founder of OTA, a creative collaborative offering extraordinary experiences and engagements that educate, empower, and serve as catalysts for community-builders and change agents to improve the lives of all people living in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. OTA has welcomed over 50 global thought leaders to the region in its first 4 years.
Hugh lives in the OTA states with his beautiful, intelligent, and extremely patient wife, Amy, four-year-old daughter Emerson, newborn son Finn, and an imaginary friend named Sally.
