About Quentin Mezetin (in his words)
I’m a devoted husband and father to five amazing kiddos. Life had its usual ups and downs, but nothing could've prepared me for the twist my journey was about to take. Two of my children, my 8-year-old and 7-year-old, were diagnosed with autism, and they're both nonverbal. That hit me hard. It wasn't just about adapting to their unique needs; it was realizing the world isn't always kind to those who are different. I saw firsthand the challenges and the looming shadows of discrimination they could face. That’s when I knew I couldn't just sit back. I took my personal journey and transformed it into a mission to empower families like ours, battling disabilities and prejudices. Every. Single. Day. That's why I created I AM DAD for parents currently fighting for their kids independence. The fight isn’t easy but it’s the best option we have. The results you need our now at your grasp.
