About the Author

Fred Nicora has followed a path of unexplained restlessness ignited by undisclosed triggers in his efforts to find the right fit for his own identity and seek truth in his life. Careers explored on his journey include health-care administration, architecture, business consulting, teaching, and his own entrepreneurial endeavors, including starting a fitness-based company and now authoring his story of being thrust into the adoption triangle.

Fred holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration, a master’s in management technology, a master’s in architecture, and a secondary lifetime teaching license via a master’s program. Following a traumatic, life-altering event, Fred struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol, eventually finding sobriety and a need for spiritual, mental, and physical health.

A father of three grown children, Fred currently lives and maintains a small hobby farm in southeastern Wisconsin.
