Troy is the father of 3 girls aged 8 through 16, plus a 15 year girl foreign exchange student from Spain. He's the Global Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Field Product Specialist and now Global Product Manager for the Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Division at Cook Medical where he's worked for 22 years. And for the last six years he's run the All Pro Dad's program at his kids' school. In addition to running his schools chapter he's helped start many other chapters in Southern Indiana.
All Pro Dad is a program that makes it easy for dad's and other male role models to engage with their children and be involved . All Pro Dad was founded over twenty years by Tony Dungy.
Troy says All Pro Dads has given him a group of men to bounce ideas off and turn to for advice and guidance. It's enabled to get more involved in the schools and easier to get plugged in with the community and get to know many of the local leaders.
Troy is also hosting a foreign exchange student. Troy talks about how difficult it would be for him and how fortunate he feels to get to host one of his coworkers. And how challenging it would be for him to send one of his daughters abroad for a year. He's really focused on getting Paula as much experience as possible. She's playing volleyball, which is something his daughters weren't really interested in so it's been cool for him to experience.
Troy has been luck to work for a family oriented company. The motto from the founder remains strong to this day. "Take care of the company so the company can take care of you and your family."
He shares what he's learned from his work that he's applied to his life and shared with his family. "You gotta fail to move forward." "More time is lost to indecision than the wrong decision."
When he travels he regularly sends texts and leaves notes at home to stay engaged with his kids.
Be strong. Be involved. Love your family well. Get on their level. Look 'em in the eye and tell them how important they are."
