Welcome to the website of a guy who was once the world's biggest screw-up; who dug his way out through reading and adventure
He'll talk to your at risk students as if he was one of them -- which he was! In fact, he's a (blush) dropout
He'll explain how he pulled himself up by his bootstraps to a life of adventure and challenge
And he'll explain how he became a best-selling author, newspaper columnist and radio show host
It wasn't just luck -- it was made to happen
He'll talk about relationships, too; like marrying the girl next door when both were too young and altogether too innocent. But the marriage took because they love each other, are an unbeatable team, and they stuck it out during the bad times
Instead of Merely A Living
Success in life is a proper blend of Motivation and Mechanics, Inspiration and Follow-through
- You wish to keep your youth in school: to graduate them with tools needed to contribute to society throughout their entire lives.
- I've experienced a few of those students' pitfalls and can share a modicum of hard-learned wisdom with ones who might be close to falling through the cracks.
- Together, maybe we can all make sense of the perilous crossroads of life.
