Welcome to 4-DFAM

Nik Needham - Founder & CEO

Nik has a great story to share.  Raised in single-parent homes, went to 3 different High Schools, received only one offer to play football at the University of Texas at El Paso, no combine invite, didn't get drafted, made the Practice Squad for the Miami Dolphins, got cut from the 53-man roster, signed to the Practice Squad again, got promoted after game 4, and became a starting Cornerback since 2019! Nik has a heart of gold and loves helping others reach their goals!

Shannon Needham - Nik's Assistant

Raised Nik as a single Mom, worked for Swift Engineering, Inc., an aerospace engineering & manufacturing company in San Clemente, CA, for the last 9 years, is Nik's biggest fan, and loves helping other young people with their high school challenges and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.  Shannon also spends her free time with family and feeding the homeless community in San Clemente, CA.

Stacy Henderson - Secretary

Is the founder of Home Business Magazine, raised 5 daughters while working full-time, and is very active with helping people in drug & alcohol recovery. Stacy volunteers for 4DFam in handing out food and water to the homeless in San Clemente, California and neighboring beach cities. 4DFam's intent is to expand this effort to more cities in California (and other states) and to offer more ammenities for free to the homeless in the near future.

Sandy Larson - Web Developer  

Is the mother of 4, works for the City of San Clemente, is the ultimate Soccer Mom and world traveler.  She spends most of her free time on the golf course, at her kid's soccer games, and studying for her horticulture classes. (She's also Shannon's younger sister and champion Skip-bo player!) Sandy is an IT wizard and our go-to for anything e-commerce!

Nik and his Mom Shannon have had their share of experiences with overcoming many of life's challenges. Shannon is a single Mom who has always worked full time, and her greatest achievement is being Nik's Mom!  Nik also had challenges in Middle & High School being bullied, always trying to fit in, choosing the wrong kids to hang around, looking for acceptance, and experimenting with weed & alcohol.  Shannon also struggled with an addiction to opioid medications & alcohol after several serious surgeries.  Despite these obstacles, Nik remained focused on his dreams and both he and Shannon put in the work to achieve their goals.  They want to give back by sharing their experience, strength and hope with others to help save lives!

Nik and Shannon launched 4-DFAM as it represents the 4-Dimensional Love that God has for his children - Ephesians 3:18.  The number 40 represents many significant events in the Bible where Jesus and other biblical characters overcame tremendous obstacles.   40 also happens to be Nik's jersey number for the Miami Dolphins!  And of course, FAM represents FAMILY because Family means EVERYTHING to them!
