Texas Lawbook Features Extensive Q&A With Adam Weaver on Houston Pro Bono Project

“I got involved [with CoolxDad] through a mutual friend when looking to get more involved in the Houston community,” Weaver said. “As a (relatively) new father, the CoolxDad mission spoke to me, and the founder, Kevin, and I hit it off immediately.”

Weaver, who also serves as a board member to the organization, also led the company’s lease negotiations for its new headquarters in Houston’s Fifth Ward, East River.

“When discussing with Kevin, I learned about CoolxDad’s goal of creating a community and the need for a central hub and headquarters. I jumped at the opportunity to help bring his dream of a collaborative CoolxDad space to life,” he said.

Weaver added: “The new CoolxDad space will immediately and exponentially increase CoolxDad’s impact on the community and the number of people directly benefitted by its resources. The space will be regularly filled with programs and events for its members and will also be used as a catalyst to grow the overall CoolxDad community—within and beyond Houston.”
