    Sit down with your dad and ask him about anything interesting from the beginning of his life.

    Ask him about new schools, broken bones, great life friends, travelling the world, getting married, his job, children, ect. Just think about the highlights and write about that.

    when you actually write the biography, write it in a sort of timeling. If there are years when he does absolutely nothing, then just skip that and go onto years that he did something interesting, or something happened that made him the person he is today.

    Do stuff like that. if you can do chapters, then make each 2 years a chapter, or a system like that. But if you don't have time to do that, just write about his life and the aspects I listed above.

    I hope I helped

    you should do three parts of his life: his childhood/teenager, his life in college and as single guy before he married, and lastly his life as a dad/husband. focus on what jobs he held, activities he enjoyed, and significant life shaping moments he has had.
