Partner with HulkyDad.
For brands, press, and speaking: clear bio, hard numbers, and a direct inquiry form.
HulkyDad is a 36 year old Oregon father of seven who built a 520K+ following documenting a 220 pound weight loss journey from a peak of 480. His brand is transparency over polish: real dad life, men's mental health, and showing up through hard seasons, including a 2026 battle with aggressive testicular cancer and recovery.
Long bioHulkyDad didn't start as a fitness influencer. He started as a heavy dad who decided the camera would keep him honest. From roughly 480 pounds, he lost about 220 pounds while raising seven kids, including a son who spent ~62 days in the NICU and was later diagnosed with autism. In 2026 he faced stage 1B high risk nonseminoma testicular cancer: orchiectomy, BEP chemotherapy, a near fatal sepsis episode after ringing the bell, then further surgical complications. He continues to speak openly about recovery, manhood without "man up" culture, and the cost of getting your life back. He keeps his legal name and children's full identities private.
