When I wrote, illustrated, and put together my first book out of stapled looseleaf as a little boy in 1989 I didn’t know that Time would eventually declare me an author read by men and women in six continents.

2019 marked my Saturn Return as an author, so I ended it the way I started it with a book about professional wrestling.

Unlike 1989, I offered perspectives that encompass, yet extend beyond, my personal interests as a Golden Era wrestling fan. My goal with WRESTLING WITH WISDOM was to offer you something that you can take with you into tomorrow while sharing a part of myself with my readers. It highlights a few life lessons I've learned from watching professional wrestling during the 80s and early 90s.

I internalized some lessons from my childhood as an adult and it has repeatedly paid off. I know that it can do the same for you if you if you incorporate my mindset.
