James Milton Smith

I am a former Marine. A good part of The Fourth Pillar story is my own.

I graduated from Cal Poly and Thunderbird Global School of Management.

I have lived and worked in South America and Europe and have traveled the Far East extensively.

Single, two adult daughters. Have performed lots of volunteer civic work, including hospice.

Enjoy reading, traveling, skiing, fly-fishing, hiking, and most anything outdoors.

I am passionate about writing and have an extensive collection of yet to be published stories, prose and poetry.
