Wild Progression

JASON SCOTT MERRILL is a former rocket scientist who helped land the Phoenix Spacecraft on Mars. He earned three master's degrees and is an investment professional who has been quoted over 40 times in financial publications including the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg News. After a rough childhood, he left home at age 16 and lived in a boys' home for disadvantaged youth. He overcame these obstacles, graduated towards the top of his high school class, and gained acceptance to an Ivy League college. This book traces Jason's life from sleeping in a shack with no doors to volunteering in Europe to working with Wall Street. His life has been the subject of multiple keynote addresses and inspirational presentations. Jason is the son of an opera singer, husband to a neurosurgeon-in-training, and father of nine children.
