When my wife, Jodell, and I founded Alderpen Media, INC., we had a vision: to build a company that equips purpose-driven parents to thrive in business and parenting — especially when both happen under the same roof.
Incorporated in Maine and run as a For-Profit Ministry, Alderpen Media, INC. serves as the foundation and support structure for everything we create under The Home Work brand family.
What is Alderpen Media, INC.?
At its core, Alderpen Media is more than just a media company; it’s a platform built to empower families and entrepreneurs to navigate the challenges and rewards of working from home. We blend practical business insight with family-first values, helping others find balance, purpose, and joy in both family life and entrepreneurial work.
And we are guided by a simple but powerful mission statement:
"To equip purpose-driven parents with the resources they need to thrive at working or running a business from home while minimizing the chaos, enjoying the fun times, and keeping up with the responsibilities of parenthood."
The Home Work Dad and Beyond
One of the most recognizable faces of Alderpen Media is The Home Work Dad — a brand where I share real-life lessons from decades of home-based business ownership and parenting. Through videos, podcasts, and written resources, we aim to inspire and guide parents who are building their dreams while raising their families.
The Relationship Between Alderpen Media and The Home Work Brands
Alderpen Media, INC. is the parent organization that powers all The Home Work platforms, including:
- The Home Work Dad (YouTube and website) — where business, family, and faith meet.
- The Home Work Parenting Podcast (Coming Soon) — a space for authentic conversations around parenting while balancing entrepreneurship and ministry-minded leadership.
- The Home Work Community (Coming Soon) — a place for families to connect, share experiences, and support one another.
- Various educational products and digital resources designed to help families succeed.
Every piece of content, every video, every podcast episode, and every resource we produce is part of Alderpen Media’s mission to serve families with encouragement, practical knowledge, and tools that make a difference.
Why a For-Profit Ministry?
We believe that business and ministry don’t have to live in separate worlds. As a For-Profit Ministry, we operate with the heart of service and the mindset of stewardship. Everything we do is guided by a desire to lift others up — providing honest, valuable content that helps people pursue their purpose with integrity and joy.
Our Vision
Alderpen Media, INC. will continue to grow and evolve, always focused on serving parents and entrepreneurs who are navigating the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) world of working from home. We see ourselves not only as content creators, but as partners on that journey — offering wisdom, encouragement, and the kind of real-world advice you can trust.
