Our guest this week is Keith Harris of Albuquerque, NM, an entrepreneur and father of four including one who has Down Syndrome.
Keith and his wife, Jeannie, have been married for 44 years and are the proud parents of four: Daniel (39), Tim (38), Thomas (35) and John (33). Tim is the one with Down Syndrome.
Tim's got a big heart which he opens to virtually everyone he meets. And he's a busy guy. They opened and ran Tim's Place Restaurant for five years, where 'hugs' were listed on the menu, which Tim would deliver as requested.
Tim also wrote a children's book entitled:The Book of Hugs, which came out in 2021.
Jeanne & Keith also created the Tim’s Big Heart Foundation with the mission of healing of trauma of those who made a career choice to serve, including those in the military and first responders.
There’s was an awful lot to cover so we’re presenting this interview in two segments, this week is part two the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast interview of Keith Harris.

Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."
SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
