While I am certainly not a professional writer, I have the writers "bug". Writing has been a goal, and as it turns out, very enjoyable and even therapeutic for me.I highly recommend that people write down their message to others or the world. Leave others with a part of you.

I'm a 62 year old sales executive from the wine industry. I live in San Diego with my wife Carol of the last 36 years. We are blessed with three kids with Cooper, Hannah, and Jenna, and their significant others. I still surf, mountain bike, golf, play pickle ball, cook, bake, paint and write.

Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. That news came about 3-4 years ago. Not great news, but there is so much worse out there. My goal is to fight my body's decline. I feel my body leaving me everyday. I do my best to make the very most of each day and time in general. I hope my book helps you feel the same.
