From Sharif:
As a proud member of the OUT Georgia Business Alliance for the past three years, I joined to expand my network and grow my business—but what I found was something even more valuable: community. As a father of four (two adopted, two biological) and a husband of nearly ten years, my journey as both a parent and a professional has been deeply personal. My own experience of rebuilding and strengthening my relationship with my kids—through therapy, self-acceptance, and coaching—led me to my true calling: helping other dads do the same. Now, as an award-winning coach, I’m dedicated to guiding fathers in reconnecting with their children, whether after divorce, adoption, or simply striving for a deeper bond.
