He currently resides in Georgia.
In the world we live in there has always been a need for heroes never more than now. We spend so much time waiting for heroes, never realizing we are in the midst of them. All we have to do is to look for them. We live and work with heroes everyday and never see them because we simply aren't looking for them. This book is about every day people who would never consider themselves heroes but they are just the same. They go about their lives being heroes but not being seen as the heroes they are. Every story in this book reminds us to look for the heroes in our midst. Every hero we notice makes our lives richer and better. In the frightening world we live in, where everywhere we turn we see so much that is wrong. It is easy to miss that things are not so bad. It is easy to miss that we are in the midst of heroes.
