For Jonathan Buchanan, operations manager at Bridget Sandals, innovation has been the foundation of his success. While many know him for helping to build the footwear brand through creativity and entrepreneurship, fewer know that the same determined mindset has also shaped his life as a father.

For Buchanan, becoming a dad didn't just change his life; it defined and, in many ways, redefined his purpose. His deep, unwavering commitment, loyalty and love were evident in his relationship with his daughter, Jade.

At just 16 years old, Jade eloquently offered a thoughtful glimpse into the close-knit bond she shares with her father. “My dad is very amusing, outgoing, extraordinary, kind, thoughtful, caring and genuine. He's not afraid to let you know who he is. And we are similar in the fact that I’m expressive about how I am feeling,” the Campion College student told Sunday Lifestyle.
