About the Author

The stimulus to write these books came from raising my three sons. As they were growing up, I would teach them various quotations, Proverbs, and tidbits of wisdom.

After compiling material for over 20 years I decided to write a book targeted primarily to young people to motivate and inspire “ living beyond mediocrity“. This writing is from my lifetime of participation, observation, and contemplation.
