Overcoming Obstacles -- NO MATTER WHAT!

After going through one of the most stressful and difficult periods of my youth, I found a life philosophy that I could wholeheartedly embrace and got back on track. I worked up the courage to get work, tried a couple of jobs and, after about a year, I applied for an apprentice program with the local carpenters union.

Now I was doing work that was extremely demanding both physically and mentally. I have often said to friends that they can't imagine how cold it is on a 5 degree day at 6:30 AM, ten stories up in a building with wind gusts up to 50 mph !

I survived and went on to get married in my mid twenties and had a son who recently graduated with full scholarship to an ivy league school. I ended up with a lucrative carrer in hi-tech security and just recently left that field after over 25 years to start a speaking career around the theme of never being defeated - NO MATTER WHAT ! I tell about this and about overcoming this and other monumental obstacles in my book that is co-written with my son.
