I was recruited to play football for the U.S. Naval Academy and graduated with a degree in Economics, going on to serve 5 years as an officer in the Navy. I am a Certified Financial Planner and work with a limited number of clients (Senior Executives, Professional Athletes, and Retirees). My desire as a writer is to combine my background at a Service Academy and as a Christian to provide safe books of high morale character and Christian principles to youth. My charitable foundation, Character-4-Kids, provides books to kids that are at a disadvantage financially or physically (inner city youth programs and children's hospitals). I am married to my high school sweetheart, live in Central Florida and have three children. We are all active at our church, First Baptist Sweetwater.
