Cards We Are Dealt, Choices We Make

About the Book

Have you ever thought about reflecting on the reasons for making the life decisions that you have made so far? When my son asked me to write a book about why I made the decisions I had made during my life, I found myself reflecting on my decision-making process. Not only did it take me on an emotional journey, but it created an awareness in doing so. Power, politics, ego, status, tradition, and survival all played a part in shaping my life. Looking back, I would not have changed the decisions that I made. Looking forward, I will have a better understanding of why.

About the Author

The author has been fortunate to have experienced from a very young age many unforgettable adventures. Playing in the Little League World Series, being on an Oregon State high school basketball championship team, being a Naval Aviator and jet instructor landing on aircraft carriers, being a Trooper and Assistant Aviation Commander in the elite law enforcement agency, the Washington State Patrol, being the first recipient of the Washington State Patrol Highest Honor (the Award of Honor) for saving a life, flying a DC-3 in Alaska, and being in Corporate Aviation. I have read many other authors over the years and have probably read and enjoyed over a thousand books. Currently the author is still flying in Corporate Aviation, traveling to Asia, Europe, and other parts of the globe.
