Father
Ari J. Palttala
Besides running and helping companies, and coaching, I am also a husband and father. I stay very involved with my children both individually and as a family. I believe it is important for parents to stay active with their children. Therefore, we spend a lot of time together. We follow and play various sports, participate in events and programs, and travel together.
My wife and I are very proud parents of three beautiful, smart, and active children. Our oldest daughter graduated with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, ran cross country & track, and swam for her high school teams. Our son, now in college, played ice hockey and ran cross country for his high school teams. Our youngest daughter, now in college, played field hockey on the high school varsity team. Together with our Havanese dog, my wife and I live in the metropolitan Washington, DC area.
My wife has made me a better person in many ways. She has instilled a more compassionate, empathetic, and understanding side to me. My three children remind me every day, that life is about learning, teaching, and transferring knowledge to younger generations in order to make the world a better place to live.
I believe my calling in life is trying to be a good role model for my children, making them better and more successful in life than I am, as individuals, members of communities, citizens, and future leaders.
