Background
Information
I started to write my book Go Figure--My Wacky Journey From Outlaw To Leading Citizen after reading Glenn Beck's The Christmas Sweater and Nicholas Sparks Three Weeks With My Brother. I wrote a book about my life. I was on the ordinary path of life until I got to my twenties. I then took a sharp left turn and went down the path of being an outlaw. After a few years of looking over my shoulder I decided to once again find the straight and norrow path of life and become a productive citizen. I know serve on several city boards. I can also say that I have several friends in the police department, the Iowa State Patrol and the DCI. Amazing if I had got caught I would have spent 30 years in the county lockup.
