| I earned my BA degree from Wichita State University in Anthropology with minors in Math, English, and History. My first Master's Degree (ThM) is in Old Testament Exegesis and Semitic Languages from Dallas Theological Seminary while my second Master's Degree (MBA) is from WSU's Barton School of Business. People often ask me how I became a writer. When the Muslim terrorists attacked the World Trade Center on 9-11, I received an unexpected layoff notice due to the sudden downturn in the airline industry. A month after his layoff I wrote the first draft of The Book Behind the Wall in a nine-day burst of creativity, and continued rewriting it until it was ready for publication. To promote my unpublished book, I designed a website that has had visitors from 123 countries. Hopefully, it will catch someone's attention somewhere in the publishing world. While I'm waiting for a publisher to buy my book, I substitute teach in elementary schools. I've now subbed in 61 schools for 367 different teachers for over 14,000 kids. So I've successfully made the transition from the aeronautical world to the educational world by substitute teaching, by reinventing himself as an author, and by becoming a webmaster. My 360-page book has grown to a multi-book series, my teaching skills are in high demand, and my website continues to attract worldwide attention. Having now found my passion for writing, I'm the happiest I've ever been, having no regrets about my layoff. |
