Logan Hancock
Owner of Legacy Carts
Being a girl dad while running our locally owned business, Legacy Carts, is a unique blend of responsibility, pride, and perspective. Every day, I balance business ownership, serving customers, managing inventory, and growing our dealership with the even more important role of raising my daughter. In many ways, the two worlds overlap.
Owning a small business means long hours and constant problem-solving. My daughter shapes how I approach it all. She is always watching, learning what it means to work hard, treat people well, and build something from the ground up. Whether she’s riding beside me in a golf cart or greeting customers with a smile, she’s already part of something bigger.
To me, having a daughter means setting the standard for how she should be treated and showing her that she belongs anywhere, including in a space often seen as male-dominated. It means teaching confidence, independence, and resilience while also ensuring she knows she's supported and loved no matter what path she chooses.
Legacy Carts isn’t just about sales; it’s about community and encouraging families to spend more quality time together. I’m building a "legacy" she can be proud of and maybe one day be part of.
Brian Zweip
Co-Owner of Traverse Builders, LLC
Being a dad to two daughters while running Traverse Builders isn’t something I ever planned, but it’s turned out to be one of the best parts of my life.
Most days start early and end late. Running a multi-faceted construction company means solving problems, managing crews, juggling schedules, and ensuring the job is done right. It’s hard work, but at the end of the day, the role I care about most is being a dad.
Having daughters has changed how I look at a lot of things, especially what it means to be a man and a leader. At work, I’m used to being direct and getting things done. At home, my girls remind me to slow down, listen more, and be present. There’s no blueprint for that.
They’re always watching, whether I realize it or not. How I treat people, how I handle a bad day, and how I show respect. I know I’m setting the tone for the kind of man they’ll look for someday. I want them to expect someone who shows up, works hard, and treats them with kindness.
That carries over into how I run Traverse Builders. We’re driven by relationships, ethics, and quality; it’s not just a slogan. It’s how we do business and how I try to live my life.
Being a girl dad means raising strong, confident women who aren’t afraid to lead. While I’m proud of what Traverse has become, I’m even more proud of the young ladies I’m raising. I’m just as excited about their future as I am about the future of our company.
Andy Slaughter
Co-Owner of Advisory Group of The Rockies
Owning a business can be incredibly demanding, and there are certainly long days, but raising my daughter has a way of keeping everything in perspective; it’s truly a gift. It reminds me daily that success isn’t just measured in growth or numbers, but in the person you are becoming and what your children are learning from watching you. To me, being a girl dad means being present, steady, and leading by example. It’s about showing my daughter what it looks like to work hard, care deeply, and treat people well. I want her to understand that her worth doesn’t come from what she can produce, but simply from being exactly who she is.
At Advisory Group of The Rockies, we are in the business of helping people. That responsibility does not start and stop at the office door; it’s reflected in how we live, the choices we make, and the way we treat others in our daily lives. It’s the posture of our hearts toward people, and that’s what I hope my daughter sees more than anything else. Parenthood has also reshaped how I view leadership. It’s less about titles or outcomes and more about consistency, humility, and presence.
Showing up, listening, and doing what is right even in the quiet, everyday moments often leave the most lasting impression. These same core principles guide how I strive to lead within our firm and serve the families who place their trust in us. I am also very fortunate to have business partners who share that same spirit of being intentional with our time, resources, and relationships. We aim to foster a culture that encourages others to live with kindness, responsibility, and a genuine commitment to those around them.
That’s the environment Rebekah gets to experience, and I am truly grateful for it. Her presence, along with that of all our children, continually reminds me that the most meaningful achievements are measured not by professional accolades but by love, character, and example. If I’m being honest, she runs the show, and I’m learning from her every single day.
Jason Chavez
General Contractor/Co-Owner of Branson Construction
As a father to a beautiful daughter and the co-owner of a residential remodeling company with my wife, I view my work as more than just construction; it is the blueprint for the standards she will one day seek in her own life. I believe that providing a safe, peaceful home for my family starts with how I treat our customers.
I’ll frame it like this: when Branson Construction delivers excellence on a project, the result is a successful and secure company. Security in my professional life allows me to leave work at the job site when I come home to my family. Being fully present ensures stability for our household. By leading with integrity, honesty, and accountability, I show my daughter that a man of character provides for her personally through a life laid down to something greater than himself.
At any moment, I have the choice to abandon responsibility and live to my “own personal, self-seeking potential” by doing it alone and absent from my family and responsibilities. I choose not to because a life lived in service to others satisfies a purpose placed in me from conception by God. This selflessness is rooted in the foundation of love. In this arena of my profession, my love for my daughter is displayed through dedication to my craft as a GC and business owner of Branson Construction. I hope she identifies in her father the selfless love that compels me to get out of bed and do right by our customers, so her life is blessed.
I pray she holds that same expectation for the man she will give her life to one day; a man who doesn’t seek his identity solely in his success, but rather has the perception to lay his life down for his family and create a legacy the way her father did. Succeeding for our clients isn't just about business; it’s about building a foundation of reliability that my daughter can depend on and use as a plumbline for a man to spend her life with.
