Meet Super Dad Chris Schreier!

Meet one of our Super Dads, Chris Schreier!

Where do you work and what do you do for a living?

Gainesville Pediatric Associates; Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

Name and ages of kiddos?

Avery (11), Dawson (9), Ellyse (6)

If you could be any superhero, who would it be and why?

I’d be Superman so I can fly. That way I wouldn’t have to deal with Gainesville traffic!

What is your favorite part of being a dad?

Being there for all of my kids’ big and little moments. It’s important to me that when my kids grow up, they can say, “My dad was ALWAYS there for me.”

What is your most memorable dad moment?

Holding each of my babies for the first time. Nothing tops that feeling!

If you could give two pieces of advice to a new dad, what would it be?

1. Love their mother to the fullest. When they grow up, your relationship will be the one they base theirs on.

2. Laugh with your children. You’ll never regret having a good sense of humor with them!

What is the hardest part of being a dad?

The constant worry that I’m doing things right. My biggest goal in life is for my children to look up to me and want to be in my life when they’re adults.

What do you hope your children learn the most from you?

To be kind and empathetic to people. The world is a very judgmental place and I want my kiddos to see people for who they are; not what they look like, what they wear or who they love.

I was trying to “teach” my kids tricks on a razor scooter because they have the coolest dad there is. However, I ended up teaching them how to crash. I had a bruise from my thigh to my hip. Needless to say, it wasn’t my coolest moment.
