    SFN Dad To Dad 424 - Pat Wire of Crystal Lake, IL High School Teacher, Varsity Baseball Coach & Father of 4, Including One With Autism
    Apr 3 2026
    Our guest this week is Pat Wire, of Crystal Lake, IL a social studies teacher at Barrington High School, long-time head coach of the Barrington Broncos High School varsity baseball team and father of four, including a son with autism.

    Pat and his wife, Leane, are the proud parents of four children: Gabrielle (19), Bobbi (17), Shaelyn (12) and Preston (11) who is autistic and non-verbal.

    Pat has been coaching for nearly three decades and at the high school level for more than two decades.

    Pat reflects on how much Preston has taught him about; parenting, patience, himself and what's important in life. The big take away? Parents of a child with special abilities need to use the child's yardstick to measure the child's progress vs. the one they might have used for themselves.

    We’ll hear all about Pat, his open and transparent views on parenting and life, all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

    SFN Dad To Dad 423 - Matt Might of Birmingham, AL Director Of Precision Medicine at UAB, Author, Father of Three, One With NGLY1 Deficiency
    Mar 27 2026
    Our guest this week is Matt Might of Birmingham, AL who is the director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a researcher, author, TEDx presenter and perhaps most importantly, father of three, including a son with NGLY1 Deficiency.Matt and his x-wife, Cristina, are the proud parents of three children: Winston (10), Victoria (14) and Bertrand who was born in 2007 and very sadly passed away in in 2020 at age 12. Bertrand was born with an ultra-rare genetic disorder known as NGLY1 Deficiency, which prohibits the creation of the enzyme N-Glycanase 1. At the time of diagnosis, NGLY1 Deficiency was so rare, Bertrand was considered an N of 1, the only person known to have this particular condition. Matt was a tenured computer science professor. Motivated to find a cure for his son he pivoted into the world of precision medicine. Through a brilliant blog post entitled: 'Hunting Down My Killer' they were able to find seven more children with NGLY1. Matt also gave a gave a highly informative and well delivered TEDx Talk. We also learn about NORD (National Organization for Rare Disease), the Great Science Foundation and NCATS (National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences) within the National Health Institute.
