Rob Kenney

Rob Kenney, affectionately known as the "Internet Dad," rose to fame in 2020 with his YouTube channel Dad, How Do I?, where he provides practical advice and life skills for people who may not have had a father figure in their lives. His channel covers a wide range of topics, from how to tie a tie, change a tire, unclog a sink, and other essential "dad advice." Kenney's warm and encouraging demeanor has earned him millions of followers, turning him into a comforting father figure for many.

Kenney's inspiration for starting the channel stems from his own childhood. His father left when he was just 14, leaving him and his siblings to navigate life without that guiding parental influence. This experience motivated him to create content that fills the gap for those who find themselves in similar situations, providing not just practical help but emotional support.

With his wholesome, approachable style, Kenney has expanded his influence beyond YouTube, appearing in interviews and on talk shows, where he shares his mission of helping others. In 2021, he published a book, "Dad, How Do I?: Practical “Dadvice” for Everyday Tasks and Successful Living," further cementing his role as a mentor for people seeking guidance.

Kenney’s impact reaches beyond just tutorials—he's created a sense of community and reassurance for many who lack a father figure, embodying the spirit of support, patience, and love that he aims to provide through his platform.
