The Fatherhood Episode

The Fatherhood Episode

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we let the fathers of the TASM crew take the lead. In this episode, they talk to Cortez Mangrum about his fatherhood journey. From being fatherless as a child to now being a father of 10 and a grandfather, he shares his story of restoration, redemption, and rebuilding relationships.

Cortez is the Maintenance Lead at West Side MBC where he has worked for 10 years. He studied Criminal Justice at Forest Park Community College and graduated from Missouri College of Hair and Styling. Cortez is a veteran, stationed in Germany for 4 years, and also did a 15-month tour in Iraq where he was a part of the tank and armor unit as a tanker. Cortez has a passion for his fellow veterans and is working on a book called, “The Soldier Within”, to help soldiers returning from duty with PTSD or other issues as they transition back into daily life at home.
