When Rob Kenney lost his father at just 14, he could have let that pain define him. Instead, he transformed it into a mission that has touched millions worldwide.
His YouTube channel, “Dad, How Do I?”, started as a simple way to teach life skills—tying a tie, changing a tire, fixing a leaky faucet. But it quickly grew into something far more meaningful: a virtual father figure for those who grew up without one.
Through his calm voice, patience, and kindness, Rob gives more than instructions—he offers comfort, encouragement, and the presence of a dad many never had.

At 14, Rob faced a devastating loss. But instead of letting grief close him off, he chose to turn his pain into purpose. In 2020, he launched his channel, and since then, millions have found guidance, warmth, and hope in his videos.
Viewers describe Rob’s lessons as more than tutorials—they’re fatherly hugs through the screen. A reminder they are not alone, that someone cares enough to show up and guide them.
