Everyday Dad. Lifelong Learner. Honest Voice for Dads-to-Be.

Gael Galderer is not your typical “expert.” He’s the dad next door—the guy who’s been through the sleepless nights, the toddler meltdowns, the heart-to-hearts with a teenager, and everything in between. A proud father of five, Gael brings to the table a rare combination of lived experience, personal growth, and a genuine passion for helping first-time dads feel grounded and empowered.

Born and raised in North America, Gael lives a life many can relate to—middle class, deeply rooted in family traditions, and fiercely committed to being a present and loving partner. He didn’t become a “parenting author” overnight. His wisdom comes from being in the trenches for years—rocking babies to sleep at 2 a.m., juggling carpools, attending countless school plays, and showing up, every day, for his kids and his partner with his whole heart.

But what makes Gael’s voice stand out in the parenting world is his willingness to grow. He didn’t just rely on instinct. Along the way, he reached out for support—joining fatherhood groups, listening to wise elders, and working with coaches and therapists to better understand himself and his role as a dad. Through that process, he not only became a better father but a more self-aware, emotionally resilient man.

Gael knows that becoming a dad for the first time is overwhelming—exciting, yes, but also loaded with questions, doubts, and unspoken fears. That’s exactly why he wrote Empowering Dads-to-Be: Pregnancy, Partnership, and Self-Discovery. This book isn’t just a guide—it’s a conversation. One that says, “You’re not alone,” and offers the tools, encouragement, and real-life insight every new dad deserves.

Friends, family, and even strangers have leaned on Gael for honest, heartfelt advice. Now, he’s putting that same guidance into the hands of expectant fathers everywhere.

When he’s not writing or offering a shoulder to fellow dads, you’ll find Gael in the kitchen flipping pancakes on Sunday mornings, building backyard forts, or sitting in the driveway chatting with one of his kids long after the porch light comes on.

Gael’s mission? To remind every man stepping into fatherhood that he doesn’t have to be perfect—just present, curious, and open to becoming the dad his child will remember with love.
