Author's Bio:  I grew up the son of a Preacher Cop who was brutally murdered and died on my 10^th birthday. I survived life, abused and alone. Even after being in over 30 foster homes growing up, I managed to pull my life together. Through my life's journeys, I managed to become the best at what I achieved.  I went from scooping poop from cattle trucks to a retired Professor and Director of Technology at a major university. After retirement, I became the CEO and owner of a local company and small business. I contemplated the idea of penning a book about my life, only to be daunted by the formidable task ahead. With no formal training in book writing and a life that felt too complex to capture on paper, I reluctantly shelved the thought, intending to revisit it later. However, this idea persisted over the years, as if divinely ordained, constantly resurfacing with new memories and inspiration. Then, fate intervened during an estate sale when I stumbled upon a box of books I bought. The manila envelope that was under the books changed my thinking. I now have the writing bug and many new ideas and projects are bubbling to the surface ready to be penned. Jennie's Story sparked a fire in me to continue writing my journey in the next book.

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