Dr. Michael J McDermott PhD ThD
About the Author
Introducing Michael J. McDermott is a remarkable author whose life story creates a compelling tapestry of memories, resiliency, and a steadfast dedication to both his community and his religion. His family's affiliation with the Marine Corps caused them to travel throughout the many landscapes of the United States, from Millington, TN, to the busy streets of Anaheim, CA, when he was born in the center of Cherry Point, North Carolina, in September 1949. Mobility was a recurring motif in Michael's life and would follow him on his trip.
Michael's journey took him from California to Detroit, Michigan, Richland, Washington, and back to Riverside, California. He did, however, ultimately find a home in Perris, California, setting the groundwork for other important chapters in his life.
Michael's tale is one of regeneration and change. He met the lady who would become his devoted wife in 1975 while working at a K-Mart in Riverside, California; their union has lasted 49 glorious years and counting.
Michael's adventure, however, continues. By joining the US Marine Corps in 1967, he responded to the call of duty and was exposed to the hardships and sacrifices of military life during the Vietnam War. He enlisted in the California National Guard in 1981 out of a strong desire to serve his country and remained a member until 1990. He volunteered for Desert Storm and moved his enlistment duty to the US Army out of a desire to do more, adding a crucial new chapter to his military career. He eventually left the service, appreciating the experiences and friendships it had given him.
In terms of education, Michael's path is a tribute to his unquenchable desire for learning and development. He obtained a law diploma in 1976 after attending Barkley College after graduating from Loara High School in 1967. His commitment to education didn't end there. He has shown his adaptability and dedication to learning many domains by becoming a Certified Netware Engineer as well as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.
But probably one of his most outstanding accomplishments came when he enrolled in graduate school at the age of 67, just a few years after leaving employment. He worked tirelessly to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Computer Technology, a Masters, and a Ph.D. in Theology and Eschatology. He also claims certificates from a variety of Bible and Christian education programs, underscoring his sincere devotion to the divine.
In his professional life, Michael has demonstrated a spirit of kindness and service that characterizes him. After serving in the military, he entered the field of computer consulting and temporarily founded his own business. He discovered his true calling in Riverside, giving more than 20 years of his life to a non-profit that assisted the elderly and crippled, proving his extraordinary dedication to making a difference.
Michael McDermott is a relatively fresh author in the literary world; he has already had two works published. The books "The Final Battle: A Journey through End Times" and "A Showdown in Dusty Hollow: Unmasking the Deceiver" showcase his distinct viewpoint and writing talent and provide readers with the chance to dive into the mystic and espionage realms.
Beyond his accomplishments, Michael treasures life's little pleasures. He enjoys hosting family gatherings for delicious barbecues in the summer, and in the winter, he curls up on his plush couch to watch movies and enjoy coffee and snacks.
The journey of Michael J. McDermott is resonant with fortitude, faith, and a persistent dedication to both learning and service. Readers may go through lifetimes with him through his writings, touching on the life-changing events that have made him the extraordinary author and person he is today.
