I wanted to write a book that could help young people have hope again for a bright future. Since there have been so many efforts at removing God from our lives, I felt it necessary to offer a short tutorial on what life is all about. I enjoyed a 26-year career serving in the Military as an Army Aviator and Acquisition Project Manager. Upon retirement I served as a Director/Vice President in a small Aerospace company, followed by supporting Army Programs while employed in a University setting. I am a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; the Army War College and obtained an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I am married to my wife Melanie and we have four children.
