Igniting a Long-Delayed Dream

When he was twenty-seven years old, he decided he would be a writer. He started fiction novels and worked on them on and off throughout his life without success. He often ignores his impulse to write because he believes it is more rational to serve as a realtor to pay the bills. He has been studying information about personal development, goal achievement, how we think, and techniques for success for over twenty-five years. He loves this material, and he continues to improve his life.

Finding His Voice

From Idea to eBook

In 2015, he had the idea of writing a book to share information that might help other people improve their lives. The book is titled ‘Mind Food’, and he published it as an eBook, but he didn’t publish it in print.

Concise and Evocative

In 2022, he wrote another book about personal development that he did not publish at all due to the cost of publishing it himself. He plans to publish this book in 2026.

My First Published Book

In 2024, he wrote ‘Juicy’. This is his first published book in print and eBook format. When he completed this book, he realized that writing is his main passion. He knows that writing is how he wants to serve. He has discovered his purpose. He is starting a new career late in life.

Inspiring Others

He is committed to serving people by sharing what he learns. He can’t tell you how wonderful it is now that he knows his purpose, and he has his vision of how to serve. He hopes he can inspire you to determine what gives you joy, what you are passionate about, and how to find your purpose. He wishes you the best life you can imagine.
