About the Author
Mike Wang is the founder of Innocent Armor, a body armor apparel company, and the author of Best Dad Ever. He is the father of two adult sons and, later in life, a young daughter, an experience that shaped the perspective behind the book. Wang draws on a background spanning orthopedic sports medicine, entrepreneurship, and world travel, and has spoken about how becoming a father again later in life changed the way he views parenting's smaller moments.
