Author's Bio:  

Raised in adversity, I grew up as the son of a preacher and police officer, whose tragic murder on my 10th birthday altered the course of my life. Enduring the hardships of over 30 foster homes, I faced abuse and isolation but remained determined to forge my own path. From humble beginnings—cleaning cattle trucks—I ascended to become a retired professor and Director of Technology at a major university. Following retirement, I transitioned into entrepreneurship, becoming the CEO and owner of a successful small business.

For years, the idea of writing a book about my life lingered in my mind, though the sheer weight of my experiences made the task seem insurmountable. Lacking formal training in writing, I set the notion aside, convinced the time was not yet right. But fate had other plans. During an estate sale, I purchased a box of books, unknowingly acquiring a manila envelope that would alter my perspective forever. That discovery reignited my passion for storytelling, leading to the publication of Jennie’s Story—a work that has sparked an unstoppable drive to continue chronicling my journey. With new ideas constantly emerging, I am now fully immersed in bringing my next book to life.

 MY books are ready for a publisher or a good agent.
