Hi, my name is Joe Beckman. I am a local, a youth worker, public speaker,  DJ,  server,  quarterback for a one-hand touch football team, and group fitness instructor. More important then all of that combined, however…is the fact that I am a father. In the summer of 2007 my wife told me the news that she was pregnant… 8 1/2 months later we had our little baby girl Sophia.

Life as I knew it got flipped on it’s head.

I struggled.  I'm not afraid to admit it.  Unfortunately, in search for some local resources on how to become a better and more patient dad, I came up empty-handed.

At Papa Gio we are providing support and resources for dads who might be looking for answers, dads who want to connect and network with other dads, and dads who are hungry and eager to be the best dad, husband, partner, and...papa that they can be.

So that’s me…in a nutshell.

If you agree with me on ANY of this, please support us. Buy a shirt, contribute your thoughts and ideas, or just spread the word in your ECFE group, your place of worship, your moms group, your neighbors, and most importantly to the dads in your life.

Word to your PAPA!
