Jimmy Nelson is Advodadtnt, an Advocate for Father Figures.
I am an advocate for dads & father figures everywhere. My goal is to find ways that I can develop more as a father figure while helping influence other father figures and children to develop themselves and reach for their full potential.
About Advodadtnt
The only thing I’ve ever really wanted to be was a good Dad…Today I find myself as a father figure to several children and an influence to many others. I’ve set out on a mission to discover what it takes to develop into a great father myself, while learning from other great father figures.
I’ve always had a passion for teaching children the simple lessons of life. I hope to be an influence as a father figure to children who need a good male role model to influence their lives. A father should be the patriarch, example, motivator and leader of the family. Striving to be more like our Savior is what helps drive me to be a great father figure for the kids I have the pleasure to influence.
Having a father is something that we all have in common, but how our fathers have affected our lives vary tremendously. I have been blessed with an amazing Father who has been a superb example of a faithful, loving father for my 5 siblings and myself. The lessons I’ve learned from my dad and other father figures in my life have helped prepare me for the unique father role I find myself in today. I believe many people can relate to and pull strength from the story of my family.
My wife Jessica and I got married in March of 2017 and are raising 6 children together…At the time of this being written, my two young boys from my first marriage; Tyce (8) and Talyn (6) live over 3 hours away in Spanish Fork Utah, my step son Ty is 16-year-old (Ty happens to be a stud.) My wife and I also have permanent guardianship over my wife’s sister’s three children…Jaxson (8) Jemma (7) and baby Jayace (3).
My vision is to ultimately help kids find and develop their gifts, talents, and confidence, while influencing father figures to become the best part of a child’s life. I believe that when we find and are developing our God-given talents and reaching for our full potential, we can find fulfillment and live a useful and healthy life. Teaching our youth the “How-To’s” in life from a father’s perspective is an important and great way to influence the next generation. It’s our job to help them find their path in becoming strong successful members of society and future parents themselves. All of my content will relate to at least one of 5 categories that I call…

My goal is to influence father figures and children to live a fulfilled and healthy life using AdvoDad’s 5 Fs. We should all set and reach for personal goals to help us develop ourselves. To bless others, we must learn to develop and use our talents.
What talents have you developed?
AdvoDad’s 5 Fs definition
- Faith: Having faith in our Heavenly Father and our savior Jesus Christ. Faith is the belief in something you cannot see. Faith is an action word, one that must be used in order to grow.
- Fatherhood: Influencing and directing the youth to develop themselves and reach their full potential through your experience and example.
- Fitness: Taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Having the energy and ability to be actively involved with your children in a healthy way.
- Finances: Having control over your money, not letting money have control over you. If your money is right the other 4 Fs will be simpler.
- Freedom: Sacrificing today for what you want tomorrow: spiritual freedom, family freedom, health freedom, financial freedom, and the freedoms of living in America and being human. Discipline=Freedom.
