| Bio: | I am a fifty-seven-year-old father whose children have given me six grandchildren. As a child of the '60s who grew up in a foster home in Florida, in my third year of college, my life changed forever when I dropped out of school and went on a quest for adventure. Twelve years later, I returned home with a head full of memories. My travels had taken me to the Caribbean on a dive boat, and from there, I made three cross-country trips that led me to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and the West Coast. But what stands out in my memory is not the beautiful places I have seen, but the people I met along the way. Without them I would not have realized my quest for adventure. I would not have found peace and enlightenment. For the last twenty-five years, I have been training dogs in Panama City Beach, and have written two books on dog training. It was when I wrote "Leader of the Pack: Shaping Dog Instincts" and "Shaping the Wolf Within Your Dog" that I realized my passion for writing. Three years ago, I began writing my memoir. A Gyspy Among Gypsies is the fruit of that labor. As you get older, you realize that it's the characters in your life and the people who made a differnce that come to mind in the still of the night. So I wanted to pay tribute to those ordinary people who understood what it means to give with a happy heart, and celebrate the contention that given even less than half a chance, life not only endures...it prevails. |
