Lawrence Jay Long's Story

I'm proud to be both a SpoFI graduate and active volunteer. The program's fatherhood training transformed my approach to parenting and partnerships, giving me practical tools and support when I needed them most. Now I dedicate much of my time to supporting other dads on their journeys through SpoFI's programs.

In my professional life, I'm a web developer and project manager with about two decades of tech experience. But my most meaningful work happens in the service of others - particularly fellow dads working to become more present, engaged fathers.

SpoFI helped me recognize that being a good father isn't about being perfect - it's about showing up consistently and doing the work. That's why I volunteer: I want other dads to know they're not alone on this path.

My commitment to building supportive communities extends beyond SpoFI. I founded nEveresting Recovery, which combines my passion for endurance sports with creating spaces for those in recovery. Whether I'm training for an ultra-marathon or working on being a better dad, I've learned the importance of taking things one step at a time and never giving up.
