Welcome to Social Dad DC: My Journey of Fatherhood, Connection, and Creativity

Hi there, and welcome to Social Dad DC!

I’m Calcie Cooper—husband, father, storyteller, media and events entrepreneur, and a proud Brooklyn transplant living in the nation’s capital. Whether you’re a fellow parent, a dreamer, or someone who appreciates the twists and turns of life’s journey, I’m thrilled you’ve stopped by.

Social Dad DC is my space to share the joys, challenges, and lessons I’ve encountered as a dad and family man while navigating the dynamic rhythm of Washington, D.C. Balancing fatherhood, marriage, and my passion for crafting meaningful connections has been an incredible adventure—one I’m excited to share with you.

Here’s what you can expect from Social Dad DC:

• Fatherhood Chronicles: Honest reflections on raising my daughter, embracing her growth, and discovering new lessons every day.

• Family Life in D.C.: Tips, stories, and recommendations for parenting and family-friendly activities in the DMV area.

• Life Lessons & Inspiration: Insights into career pivots, personal growth, and the daily affirmations that guide my life.

• Community Connection: As a former “Social Broker,” I value the power of relationships. I’ll spotlight local events, inspiring dads, and opportunities for us to support each other as parents and individuals.

This blog is more than just my story—it’s a place where we can connect, share, and grow together. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a new dad figuring it all out, a seasoned parent with wisdom to share, or simply seeking a space for inspiration, I hope you’ll find value here.

So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s navigate media and events, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, family, social life, and everything in between—together.

Welcome to Social Dad DC. Let’s build something great.
