It’s Reigning Cool Dads in Portland

By liz overson June 11, 2013

Portland is home to some very cool dads. One part hero and two parts role model, our cool dads are an impressive array of men living, working and raising their kids in this fair city. So what makes these guys cool? They love their partners, successfully maintain a work/life balance, and they bring their A-game to their jobs. Read on to discover cool dads who make our city more awesome.

Jack Jewsbury

Jack Jewsbury, Professional Soccer Player for the Portland Timbers

Jack’s been playing in the MLS for eleven years – three with us and the previous eight with the Kansas City Wizards/Sporting KC. In 2004 Jack and the Kansas City Wizards won the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, the longest running soccer competition in the US that includes both amateurs and pros. They also made it to the MLS Cup Final that year and Jack’s feeling ready to get back to the big show again. Jack and his family (including two daughters) live in Multnomah Village and this proud dad loves to hit all the parks around the city with them. When we root, we root for the Timbers. And we are all rooting for Jack and team to get back to the MLS Cup Final!

To all the Top Pops and Rad Dads out there in Portland, we salute you as well! Let us know who else we should add to our list in the comment section below.
