• I am a divorced father of 4 children. We are a balanced family of 2 boys and 2 girls. My younger two children we fostered for several years before we adopted them and made them “official” Mann’s. I have shared custody.  And guess what, the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree, 3 of my 4 children also enjoy the sport of Powerlifting
