About

The internet’s best hangout for dads.
icon

Dad Day came from wanting something we couldn’t really find.

We wanted to hear from dads who were trying to take care of themselves, stay ambitious, stay in shape, do good work, and also be really involved at home. Not in some perfectly balanced way. Just guys who cared about all of it.

The idea is to give you useful stuff you can take with you. A better workout, a smarter routine, a good recommendation, or maybe just a different way to look at something.

The goal is pretty simple: be better for yourself and better for the people around you (and enjoy the ride).

Our Story

Dad Day started as a simple newsletter...

Founder Adam Kunes, now a dad of three, started it because he couldn’t find anything for dads that felt relatable.

When his first son was born, Adam was one of the first guys in his group of friends to have a kid. Everyone else was still hitting happy hour and booking tee times, while he was at home trying to figure out what the hell he was doing.

He wanted to hear from dads who were still chasing things for themselves, but were also really involved at home. Guys who cared about their health, their work and how they spent their time, but also wanted to be great husbands and dads.

So he started writing the thing he wanted to read.

Dad Day has grown quite a bit since then, but the idea is still pretty simple: being a dad doesn’t mean giving up who you are. It means figuring out how to take care of yourself while showing up for the people who depend on you.

About Adam: A Semester at Sea voyage in college cracked his world wide open and set him on a path of building things…from a VHS-to-DVD side hustle that grew into two stores (acquired in 2015) to launching Have Fun Do Good, a do-good adventure travel company sold in 2022.

He’s big on training, travel, old Land Cruisers, and anything that keeps life interesting. When he’s not writing Dad Day, Adam’s usually chasing his kids around Charleston, lacing up for beer league hockey (back-to-back champs, nbd), or out in the water.
