About the Author

James David Moore is an award-winning published educator who graduated Magna Cum Laude from The University of Memphis. Through Project Based Learning, Mr. Moore's classes built the "World's Largest Salami Sandwich" (76 feet) and fed 178 homeless men and women, and won national attention as his class "Traversed the Mississippi River." Mr. Moore strongly agrees in the integration of technology into project-based learning for the application and analysis of skills rather than isolating and teaching for a test. It is with the same enthusiasm and dedication to positively change lives that he has written this Hamilton Series.

David would like to thank Timothy Graphenreed for his invaluable contributions. He would like to thank Danna Lynn Burns and Tinatin Japaridze for their continued support. Mr. Moore is proud of the hundreds of elementary students that he has met during his decades of work in Memphis, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the St. Croix USVI and for all the awesome students and hard working education professionals who gave inspiration for this book.
