I am Joshua Lanning, and I started Second Shift Dad for dads who work one shift and then come home to another: the shift at home. I am an Ohio firefighter, and I have been on the job since 2015. I work 24-hour shifts, and on my days off I am often the school pickup dad. Before firefighting, I worked in bank business development and in real estate, and I ran a handyman service. Those different kinds of work shaped how I think about providing, fixing things, and building something useful. This publication is for blue collar and white collar dads alike: practical ideas, honest reviews, and encouragement to be present at home, even when the schedule is demanding.
