After a decade of intense study into the realm of social-psychology, due to personal circumstances, the author decided that the suitable moment had arrived to lend a voice to those currently hurting and needing relief. As an empty-nester, now living in south Texas, he enjoys a healthy life with his beloved wife, two dogs, garden, and requisite BBQ pit. When not tending to tasks close to home, he enjoys sharing his story of healing and recovery; ultimately reinvention. Professional writing has become a vocation later in life, light-heartedly musing that “what doesn’t kill ya, might’ve wished it had.” Smirk and wink.
