Meet the Family Behind the Lore

Hi, I’m Gabe, writer, storyteller, husband, and the dad behind Dad Lore. This whole thing started as a way to capture the wild, hilarious, and sometimes downright unbelievable stories from my childhood and pass them down.
But Dad Lore isn’t just about me, it’s about us.
Pamela, my incredible wife, is the steady hand, the sharp editor, and the one who reminds me when my stories are getting a little too legendary. She's also the reason our family runs on love and Disney.

Caleb, our son, brings the brains, LEGO masterpieces, and a movie quote for just about every situation in life.
Mia, our daughter, is fierce, funny, and always dressed to impress. She lights up every room and can dance circles around all of us (literally and figuratively).
Chewie, our miniature pinscher and honorary Wookiee. He may be small, but his attitude is anything but. Named after our shared love of Star Wars, he’s got the bark, the loyalty, and just the right amount of scruff.
Together, we’re a crew that loves movie nights, big adventures, and turning even the smallest moments into something memorable. Dad Lore is our way of inviting you into that tradition. Because every dad has stories. And every family deserves a few legends of their own.

About Dad Lore Legends

About Dad Lore Legends

Every dad has a story.
Some are hilarious.
Some are hard-earned.
Some are flat-out unbelievable.

We call those stories Dad Lore—the kind of memories that get passed around campfires, at backyard barbecues, or over coffee on a quiet morning. And while not every dad is perfect, every dad leaves behind a legacy worth sharing.

That’s where this brand was born.

From Stories to a Movement

What started as a book filled with real-life adventures turned into something bigger—a brand built to honor the grit, heart, humor, and chaos of modern fatherhood.

At Dad Lore Legends, we create more than just cool gear. We design apparel, gifts, and keepsakes that carry meaning. Every hoodie, journal, or pint glass is made for the man who:

Shows up when it’s hard

Stays steady when things go sideways

And turns everyday moments into lifelong stories

Why It Matters

We believe that gifts for dads should go deeper than golf balls and gas station mugs. They should say something.
They should spark a memory.
They should celebrate the man who helped shape the story of someone’s life.

So whether you're here for the book, the gear, or a gift that actually means something—welcome. You just became part of the legend.
