Mick Naples

Mick Naples is the author of Walking with Grizzlies: Lessons for Those with Dads — a memoir and field guide for sons and daughters whose dads are still around to call. After losing his own father, he set out to write the book he wished he'd had — back when his dad was still here to pick up the phone.

A Christian with a background in education, Mick holds a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling from The Master's University and a Master of Educational Administration from Youngstown State University. He brings administrative and operations experience from both the private and public sectors, and is the founder of Average Guy AI, an AI consulting business.

Mick lives in Canfield, Ohio with his wife Madeline and their son. You can find him — and his forthcoming Walking with Grizzlies Podcast at the book's website.
