To our newfound friends
We are grateful to our community of friends for helping to spread the word about our brand and our mission.
The love and support we have received from those who share our vision for LIVESEMPERFI and the Mission Joseph campaign are so very much appreciated. We are thankful for the support that makes this journey possible. We want to do well by doing good, and for us doing good means sharing.
Our Mission Joseph Campaign allows us to share our successes with those in need as we share their stories. We partner with community organizations who assist us in identifying individuals and families in need who are open to telling their stories.
Together we identify individuals who are confronting challenges but are also making significant progress towards independence and stability.

Decreasing the number of unbanked persons decreases barriers to long-term stability, and even small contributions can be the difference between insecurity and stability.
Everyone’s goal is different; therefore, any amount you can provide is greatly appreciated.

WWjD Mission Joseph Campaign
We want to build a great brand with meaning that is endorsed by – you.
We want to discard discord and divisions and highlight causes that are important to all of us and show that there are still things that bring us together, things that we can all still agree on, and we desire to create a positive and sustainable legacy.
That is why we are using our first campaign to highlight a persistent malady familiar to us all—fatherlessness. The absence of fathers and father figures is a blight on our families and culture, so we wanted to play a part in displaying a different vision.
We know it is not enough to continually declare the importance of fatherhood. All men must individually accept and acknowledge that fact for themselves. Every man who accepts his responsibility to lead must understand his equally important responsibility to serve. The greatest leaders are the greatest servants. Therefore, when we ask if our families are being well led, we should also ask if they are being well served.
At LIVESEMPER FI we recognize and accept that there are many good men serving every day, but in our culture today they are often invisible. That is why Mission Joseph was born, and we invite men of all ages and backgrounds—and women who support them—to join us.
Please follow and support us by wearing LIVESEMPER FI caps and shirts with the signature LSF, Anchor and WWjD logos as often as possible. But especially, we are asking for three special days of visibility during which we ask everyone to wear the apparel: Join us each and every year on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and the day after Thanksgiving.
Why Joseph?
Those who know the story of Mary and Joseph remember that Joseph proclaimed the importance of both motherhood and fatherhood without uttering a word. One of the greatest gifts a man can bestow upon his children is to trust, respect, and love their mother. This is what Joseph modeled for us. He showed his love and protection—his fatherhood—with his actions. Like many good fathers Joseph was silent, but when needed most he was not invisible, and there are moments, from time to time, when we believe it is a good thing for every man to ponder, “WWjD—What Would Joseph Do?”
We are not asking for much, there is no gathering or march to attend. We believe the greatest marches are often just the ones you take to your own back yard. We just want you to be visible—be there.
Our Mission Joseph campaign is a visible sign of solidarity and the importance of fatherhood. You do not have to be a father to participate, just someone who supports women, children, and fathers.
I pray that people of all backgrounds and walks of life will join us, with the hope that it may also help to heal our social divide. It is time for us to come together and decide that there are things that hold us together—things that we can all agree on. Let us start here. It’s time.
I am not unique. I do not want my life to reflect a tally of what some think I may be owed. I want my life to reflect a tally of what I have given.

On a personal note
In addition to the LIVESEMPER FI apparel items you will also notice an art print. The artwork is related to a poem that was written by me several years ago. Although I am not a poet, I do recall being compelled one day to write down several lines of verse, which upon reading back to myself I discovered told a story. That poem kept coming to mind as I worked on the LIVESEMPER FI project. Therefore, I decided to include it here.
It occurred to me that there are people all over the world who are just like me in so many ways. We are all souls searching for meaning and a way to make a difference, and the more I thought about it the more I realized that the poem was really speaking to that desire for meaning, and that fear, yet willingness to take a risk. I offer and dedicate this work, “Where is the Bliss?” as a tribute to those who are willing to take a risk to step out of the norm to build a life.
Any amount of support will help. Consider adding the “Where is the Bliss?” print to your wish list, as it also conveys an appropriate sentiment for weddings, anniversaries and Valentines for those who want to gift something a little different.
Thank you for supporting my campaign by contributing and sharing this. For your faith in us, we will remain always grateful to you.
