No Excuses, Just Moves: The Hustle & Heart of Fatherhood

When life knocked him down, David Preston Jr. laced up his shoes—and ran. Literally. From running diapers across cities without a car, to fighting for custody of his daughter, David’s story is one of pure grit, growth, and God-given purpose.

In this episode of The Black Dad Experience, we sit down with the Omaha native and father of three as he shares:

• Becoming a father at 19 and being broken by the system at 20
• Working 3-4 jobs without transportation just to make child support
• What it took to win custody—and win his daughter's trust
• Managing the dynamic between baby mama and bonus mom
• The difference he's seen raising kids in a married household vs. a single one
• And why he’s never bought into excuses—even when it hurt

David reminds us that making moves doesn’t always look glamorous, but it always looks like love. Tune in for an episode full of sacrifice, second chances, and what it really means to be a present father.
