Parenting—Not Just For Moms Anymore
We want dads to have support. We offer resources and tools for the modern father, including product reviews, parenting tips, and stories from our own experience. Our goal is to dramatically enrich the lives of fathers who want to become more and, through them, enrich the lives of their children.
Our company got its start in November 2016. Our original goal was to build a diaper bag for men. (And guess what? It’s here!). But we pretty quickly realized that was going to take some money to build, and we’d better have an audience to sell it to, so we started off building the company we wish we’d found when becoming parents.
Our first focus was on baby product reviews, like the Snoo bassinet. Then we added online courses for expecting parents. Today, we’re still focused on both of those, and we also make gear for dads, including The Fathercraft Bag and The Fathercraft Sling.
Fathercraft
Paul, John and Mark are Fathercraft’s co-founders. Paul and John are brothers-in-law who have shared the journey of fatherhood. John has two sons and Paul has two daughters.
Mark, a.k.a. Uncle Shark, is Paul’s brother and now a dad himself. He hosts Fathercraft’s YouTube channels and tests the gear, and he excels at toting small children on long hikes and cutting the sleeves off Fathercraft t-shirts. Annika was brought on to help with copywriting and script writing, but her Dad jokes were so on point and her feminist perspective so imperative, that we asked her to join the Fathercraft family. She’s not a mom, but like Mark, she’s damn good at carrying nieces and nephews on hikes.
This is Fathercraft.
