You usually only see your parents as mom or dad but today my dad, Doug Heisey, opens up and shares his values, and the experiences that shaped him as who he is today. I grew up with my parents divorced and seeing my mom more than my dad, which led to me knowing more about my mom than my dad, so that’s why I chose to interview him today.

Doug- My daughters and who they are growing up to be.
Stella- What was the most difficult period in your life and how did you deal with it?
