Marietta Father Named America's Most 'Chubbest Dad'

MARIETTA, GA -- A Marietta father has been named “Most Chubbies Dad in America” in a national contest sponsored by Chubbies, a company that sells thigh-length shorts for men.

Matt Rooke, 31, was voted tops by Chubbies fans (Chubster Nation) in a competition that started out with 1,800 contestants. The finalists were whittled to 20 before Rooke, a father of three boys, took home the crown. SIGN UP: To get notified of more local news like this, click here to sign up for the Marietta Patch.

According to the company's website, Rooke earned his title by being an awesome stay-at-home-dad. Here it says:

Matt prides himself on "picking up heavy objects," on being one of the smartest stay at home dads in America (he's got a graduate school degree in biomechanics from Auburn), on hosting Monday Night Trivia, and on crushing everything from grocery shopping to cooking to Costco Fridays to laundry, which he likes considerably more than most average humans.

As first-ever Chubbies king, Rooke gets to take home winning a year of free Chubbies for him and his boys, and a two-year dad modeling contract.
