"I guess I always liked to write, but I didn't know it!"
"Words came easy and my success in school and professionally was largely as a result of my written communication skills. I like to help people discover their potential and achieve their goals. And I like to have fun with my writing. In the last several years I've written hundreds of articles and numerous books. Writing is a creative outlet for me and a new vocation. And, as an educator, it's important to me that I set an example, entertain my audience, provide useful information, and encourage readers to think."
