After succeeding in corporate America and supporting my family, I faced a career setback when my company closed amid industry-wide layoffs in Louisiana. My wife's promotion led us to Oklahoma, where I hoped to restart my career, but found the downturn was nationwide. As I adapted to being "Mr. Dad" and pursuing my MBA, my wife's job took her to St. Louis frequently, leaving me to raise our two sons alone. I fully embraced this role, actively participating in their activities and managing the household. Now, as we face potential further relocations, I've learned to shift roles fluidly, embracing each change not just to survive, but to thrive.
