Mike Travaglini (My Dad)

by Zach from West Newton

My hero is my dad because of how he grew up and what he has become. Growing up as the youngest of 5 brothers wasn't always the easiest for him. Also, when he was 7 his dad (my grandfather) passed. That was very hard on him but he powered through it and became what he is now.

Throughout High School he played sports. He loved playing catcher for baseball and quarterback for football. After High school he got into Harvard and that is eventually where he attended college.

He now works at Grovner. Also, he has a wife and three kids (including me) and is living very happily in Winchester, Massachusetts.

The reason he is my hero is because of how he grew up. Even though he did not have a dad growing up he still powered through and is living a really happy life. Also, he did it growing up with 5 older brothers that would always play tricks on him!!!!
