About The Dad Tax
Hi! This is gonna sound like a corny networking event opening but I am Scott Gombar.
I have been wanting to create a personal blog for a while. I have a few passions in life. I am a die-hard NY Yankees fan, Jets fan, and a Knicks fan. As you can see with the last two I die hard often. Go Yankees.
I love coaching baseball and you will hear/see me talk about it quite a bit. It’s a passion after all.
I have been labeled a nerd geek by some not-so-nice friends of mine. I do have a passion for technology.
I try to be healthy. It’s a struggle. I am a runner. Sometimes.
I could have created a blog about those things and some other things as well. Truth is my biggest passion is being a dad. I love and adore my kids and cherish every moment with them (almost every moment).
When I am out and about with my kids we might stop somewhere to get something to eat. Because I try to eat healthier than they do I often take a couple of chicken nuggets or fries. I tell them this is the Dad Tax.
See where I am going with this?
It never really clicked in my head until August of 2018 that this could and should be a blog! And it was born on August 11th, 2018.
So who am I?
I believe I am a fairly average dad. I have 3 children and a very shiny new grandchild. My kids range in age from 26 to 8. The bookend children are girls and my 11-year-old is my son.
Outside of being a dad, I do work. I own an MSP (Proactive IT) business, Nwaj Tech. I am an SEO Consultant. My other site is scottgombar.com. I typically help business owners improve their SEO and/or AdWords. I also own Main Street Networking, a mastermind networking group. I have been known to pick up a paintbrush. I prefer push mowers and shovels to ride-on mowers and snow blowers, though I am reconsidering the second one.
I used to coach baseball but my son has gotten to be too good for me to coach anymore.
I enjoy good food as much as the next person.
I am passionate about Men’s health issues. I do have my own Movember campaign.
I love to help people in any way I can.
I believe I am funny. My wife does not.
I am also passionate about the rights of dads. I believe so many dads are under-represented in family courts and often done wrong by the mother of their children. A dad is extremely important in the life of a child.
All of this summarizes what I plan to do with The Dad Tax. I have created a Facebook Group rather than a mailing list and plan to grow that along with the blog. It’s for dads only. I already had a mom try to sneak in.
So check out the blog, feel free to comment, and if you’re a dad join the FB Group.
