| Introduction | Always fascinated by human behavior, I began my serious studies at the U of A with the combined majors of psychology and anthropology, a masters degree in counseling from the U of P, and a paralegal certification from USD. My goal was to learn everything about what made people and society tick. Studying the relationships between behavior, biology, and environment gave me a greater discernment of the underlying norms guiding people within any given society. In my lifetime of collecting historical quotes concerning the effects of mankind's thoughts, words, and actions, I am amazed as to how people throughout time continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. This collection ultimately led to the creation of my first book Always Protect Your Behind: A Life Guide for Young Adults or Misguided Old Ones. (Telemachus Press, 2014) My next book, Defining Christianity In Brevi (WestBow Press, 2020), began as a research project to help the me explain my Christian faith to my family and friends. I decided to share the resulting manuscript with everyone. It is my sincere hope and prayer that it has a profound impact in someone’s life. |
