About this title

Synopsis

Historians and sociologists tell us that humans connect more through storytelling than through lengthy descriptions or histories. Well, Ian Charles MacLeod is a natural born storyteller, and he's got the life experiences to back that up. He has lived in eighteen communities, had three successful careers, attended seven universities, and headed fifteen volunteer boards. He has been a logger, lender, lawyer, and leader. In fact, Ian has had many unique or interesting work experiences, including being in five robberies or attempts as a banker; carrying a corpse out of the bush, also as a banker; going into a medium security prison under an assumed name; and negotiating major financing transactions of over a half billion dollars. Ian was raised to question authority and often did! He has taken many risks ... but came out relatively unscathed. Due to the multiple sclerosis that he contracted in 1994, in 2000 he had to go onto medical leave, so life slowed down a bit. He's okay from the head up-although some might dispute that-and not complaining; the only w(h)ine anyone is interested in comes in a bottle. Enjoy the wild life story of a man who's done it all.
