I’m a 43-year-old husband and father of two beautiful girls under five. Reading books to my children and seeing they enjoyed it so much that I wanted to personalize a book for them. Thinking about what to write as a keepsake became a series of fictional picture books, chapter books, and novels. Having to write documents and read them for a living as an insurance adjuster for the majority of my adult life prepared me for the next chapter. Leaving the conventional workforce in 2018 after suffering a severe stroke and being restricted from physical activity allowed me to refocus on my life’s priorities, purpose, and inner passions. During this time, reading books became therapeutic and motivating. Coupled with seeing the joy I saw on my daughters’ faces when reading to them and reminiscing on how impactful the books I read during my recovery, it inspired me to share my vision to help others with similar experiences and bring joy to children abroad. The next chapter of my life has even more in store as I have recently started my journey into the legal profession and will be attending law school in the fall of 2024. I know that after that chapter, my story will be even more remarkable.
The biggest struggle for me is when I go to book stores and see other books on the shelf and know that is where I want to be ultimately but know that it’s a process. Sometimes looking at other books and comparing them to mine sometimes made me look at my work more critically than it needs to be. Another obstacle for me is the budget for publishing the book and not knowing the do’s and don’ts when writing a book. Learning on the fly and getting all of the kinks out now, although, are obstacles help me in the process of publishing more books in the future and becoming more efficient.
