WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - TelAve -- I'm Tony Ramirez, a Wesley Chapel father of four, small-business owner, filmmaker, and creator of our annual family tradition, "Camp Dad." I'm currently competing in Colossal's national Super Dad competition, benefiting Children's Miracle Network, and have advanced through multiple rounds in 1st place.

What started as a fun competition has become something much more meaningful. My philosophy as a father has always been simple: "Present, not perfect." Through Camp Dad, bike rides to school, camping trips, learning challenges, theme parks, workouts, filmmaking projects, and everyday adventures, I try to turn time with my kids into memories they'll carry long after childhood.

The response has been incredible. Family, friends, clients, old acquaintances, and complete strangers have voted, donated, shared our story, and encouraged me along the way. The experience has become less about being named the "best" dad and more about celebrating fathers who simply keep showing up.

If I win, the $25,000 prize would help take Camp Dad on the road with an RV, turning America into a classroom and playground through national parks, landmarks, museums, and family adventures.

Win or lose, my message stays the same: You don't have to be a perfect parent. You just have to keep showing up.

I'd love to share this positive Tampa Bay story and have years of professional photos and video documenting Camp Dad and our family adventures.
