Inspiring Stories of Courage & Wellness
Retired federal employee, Viet Nam and US Air Force Veteran, and passionate author dedicated to educating seniors on wellness and inspiring young readers with tales of courage and resilience.
With over two decades of experience as a federal employee at the US Army TACOM, I've dedicated my life to service and excellence. My military background instilled in me the values of discipline, perseverance, and integrity—principles that continue to guide my writing and personal endeavors.
After retiring from my engineering career, I discovered a new passion: storytelling. Drawing from my life experiences and the countless individuals I've met along the way, I began crafting narratives that educate, inspire, and entertain readers of all ages.
Today, I focus on two primary areas in my writing: promoting wellness and healthy living for seniors, and creating engaging stories that inspire young readers to embrace courage, resilience, and compassion in their own lives.
I believe in the power of stories to transform lives. Through my writing, I aim to share practical wisdom that helps seniors navigate the challenges of aging with dignity, vitality, and joy. My wellness guides combine evidence-based research with accessible advice that readers can immediately apply to enhance their quality of life.
For younger readers, my goal is to create characters and adventures that resonate with their experiences while encouraging them to develop emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience. I strive to craft stories that entertain while subtly imparting valuable life lessons.
Whether you're a senior seeking wellness guidance or a young reader (or parent) looking for meaningful stories, I invite you to explore my books and join me on this journey of discovery, growth, and inspiration.
