Raising Children
Capable Of Leaving Home
Meet Our Authors
Parenting doesn’t need more noise. It needs clarity, courage, and leadership. The authors of Raising Children Capable of Leaving Home have spent years studying what actually prepares children for adulthood — not just success in school, but strength in life. Their work is rooted in one central conviction: children become capable adults when parents lead intentionally. Through practical systems, clear principles, and lived experience, they equip families to raise young people who can function, decide, and thrive long after they leave home.
Meet the authors:
William C Hampton
Co-Founder, Futures Fulfilled | Co-Author, Raising
Children Capable of Leaving Home
William C. “Bill” Hampton has spent his career doing what few
leaders consistently achieve—turning complex challenges into
clear, practical solutions that produce real results.
He built his reputation in executive leadership roles with
Campbell Taggart, Inc. and later as Chairman & CEO of
Extended Technologies, where he helped grow the company into
an industry leader before its successful sale. Across multiple
industries, Bill has led turnarounds, developed innovative
systems, and guided organizations through periods of significant
growth and change.
But his work has always been driven by something deeper than
business success.
When asked what he does, Bill often says:
“My real job is to make dull things exciting, complicated things
simple, and to make the world a better place to live.”
Today, that purpose is focused on families.
As Co-Founder of Futures Fulfilled Co-Creator of The
ReadiKids® System, Bill brings decades of strategic insight to a
simple but powerful mission: helping parents prepare their
children not just for school—but for life. Through tools like the
Family Council and the Readiness Pack, the system helps
families build capability, confidence, and independence in the
next generation.
Frank M Fornaca
Co-Founder, Futures Fulfilled | Co-Author, Raising
Children Capable of Leaving Home
Frank M. Fornaca has spent his life understanding something
many overlook—what it truly takes to be prepared for the real
world.
He began his career working hands-on in the bakery industry,
pulling product from ovens, running delivery routes, and
ultimately rising to leadership as a company president. Those
early experiences instilled a deep respect for responsibility,
discipline, and the dignity of work—lessons that would later
shape his life’s mission.
His path then led him into the nonprofit sector, where he
served as an IT Director supporting at-risk youth. There, he
saw a consistent and troubling pattern: young people weren’t
lacking potential—they were lacking preparation.
But he also saw something just as important.
That gap could be solved.
A strategist and systems builder, Frank has led consulting
initiatives, managed intellectual property, and developed
practical frameworks that turn good intentions into consistent,
real-world results.
Today, that work is focused on families.
As Co-Founder of Futures Fulfilled and Creator of
ReadiKids®, Frank helps parents take an active, structured
role in preparing their children for life. Through tools like the
Family Council and the Readiness Pack, he is helping
families build responsibility, resilience, and confidence—long
before children leave home.
