Joe Sigurdson is the cofounder of Boys to Men Mentoring Network. Joe was a teenage father. He and his wife of forty-eight years, Nancy have two children and seven grandchildren. Joe is an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous with thirty six years of sobriety. He has been active in the Mankind Project doing interpersonal work for the past thirty years. His experiences in both these programs have given him insight to what he believes is lacking in our society, especially teenage boys. He has worked with thousands of men and boys around the world. He knows that inside every boy is a desire to be a good man. Boys to Men has developed their approach to helping boys become better men by listening accepting and encouraging them for who they are.
