Our guest this week is Eric Swithin of Florence, AL a retired U.S. Marine, a former youth pastor, now founder and executive director of Outdoor Adventures as well as The Alliance For Ending The Fatherless Epidemic.

Eric and his wife, Kameron, have been married for 14 years and are the proud parents of two children: Mason (6) and McKinzie (4).

After some formative years in the U.S. Marines and serving as a youth pastor, Eric has found his calling: to end the fatherless epidemic through mentorship.

Eric is the founder and executive director of Outdoor Adventures and creator of the film “Fatherless Epidemic.” Eric works with youth, many who are fatherless, and through Biblical based teaching and experiences, empowers them to chart a new path for themselves and serve as leaders in their families and the community at-large.

We’ll hear Eric’s story on this episode of the Special Fathers Network Dad to Dad podcast.

Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
