NEW! My first book, "Second Life, Second Chance: A Teacher's Chronicle of Despair, Recovery and Triumph" won an award in the "2009 Eric Hoffer Book Awards" in the category of Legacy Nonfiction. Read the review in the US Review of Books by clicking on the above link. This book describes my recovery from a severe Traumatic Brain Injury with an emphasis on my time in the Trauma Hospital. 

My second book "Starting Over - A Survivor's Guide" is also available. I wrote this book to share what I have learned in my journey through brain trauma and to help other survivor's cope with their own particular challenges.

These books were both written with the hope that they will educate, motivate and encourage others to find the strength within themselves to climb the ladder in their own lives.  Click here to learn more ...
