👤 About Cory Allen
Cory spent years in the Secret Service. He protected First Lady Michelle Obama during that time. He wrote the memoir Breaking Free, and Dada Takes a Trip is its follow-up.
Cory wants to help men talk about tough emotions. Leaving your family for even a couple of days is hard. He thinks dads should say that out loud. As an older parent who cares for aging parents, legacy matters to him. Parents won't be around forever, but their love can last. A book like this gives his children a reminder of that love.
