About Michael Moebes

Michael Moebes, a co-founder of our Atlanta Dads Group, is a lawyer, two-time Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran, and lover of quality bourbon. He has visited all 50 United States, run with the bulls in Pamplona, survived Oktoberfest in Munich, and never refuses a mint julep. Ever. He started the family-friendly dad blog Dadcation in 2014 after seven years of writing for various humor sites that were less family-friendly.
