About me — DaddyNewbie

Fatherhood, fandom, and the art of the dad joke.


We all know that life doesn’t come with a parenting manual (unless you count IKEA instructions and a healthy disregard for sleep). But Don Jackson—CEO, Founder, and chief sippy-cup wrangler at DaddyNewbie.com—has spent the last decade writing the next best thing: a witty, heartfelt, and occasionally cheese-splattered guide to modern fatherhood.

From Rookie Dad to DaddyNewbie.com

Don Jackson’s journey began the same way most great stories do: with a bewildered look, a tiny human in his arms, and a burning question: “Should this diaper be making that sound?”

Instead of quietly panicking in the corner, Don did what any self-respecting dad would do—he started a blog. Thus, DaddyNewbie.com was born, a digital playground where rookie fathers, seasoned dads, and sleep-deprived parents everywhere could come together to share their misadventures in parenting.

Adventures in Real Life (And On the Web)

Helming DaddyNewbie.com, Don didn’t just chronicle his own life; he created a community. His essays are equal parts confessional, instructional, and “you won’t believe what my kid did today” storytelling. The site became a hub for:

  • Parenting hacks (some humorous, most practical, all field-tested at 3 a.m.)
  • Sports dad chronicles (because every child deserves a parent who can embarrass them on the sidelines)
  • Geeky dad moments (Minecraft, anyone?)
  • Kitchen catastrophes and culinary triumphs (mac and cheese will never be the same)
  • Heartfelt letters to his kids, delivered with a signature blend of love and snark

Beyond the Blog: A CEO in Dad’s Clothing

While Don’s LinkedIn might scream “founder,” his greatest accomplishments are less about titles and more about impact. Under his leadership, DaddyNewbie.com has grown from a passion project to a must-read resource for parents who crave honesty, community, and the occasional baked mac and cheese recipe.

Don’s writing style? Imagine if Mark Twain swapped his steamboat for a minivan and started handing out life advice between soccer games and science fairs. Witty, insightful, and always authentic, Don’s essays help parents laugh at the chaos, cherish the fleeting moments, and remember that it’s okay if you’re still figuring things out—just like everyone else.

The Legacy: Laugh, Learn, Repeat

For Don Jackson, DaddyNewbie.com isn’t just a website—it’s a movement. It’s proof that you can be a leader in business and a legend at bedtime stories, a CEO and a champion of dad jokes. When he’s not typing up his latest “How to Survive Valentine’s Day (Without Breaking the Bank or Your Back)” guide, you’ll likely find him coaching football, burning dinner, or explaining Minecraft strategy to anyone who will listen.

In a world where perfection is overrated and authenticity is everything, Don Jackson is proof that the best founders are the ones who lead with heart—and aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves along the way.
