I have coached basketball, baseball, and soccer for my kid’s teams as well as four years in Scouts as a Den Leader and Cub Master. I have also volunteered at my kid’s elementary school in the Special Education department for the past four years. I have been in the telecommunications industry for the past 24 years and operate a small business. I currently reside in Minnesota with my two children Sam and Maddie. We enjoy hiking, fishing, baseball, tennis and almost any activity together. When my kids were young, I would put them to bed by saying our prayers first and then reading. I noticed they were not getting tired because the light was too bright so the nighttime reading was replaced by telling stories. This story was first told when my kids were 3 and 5 years old. Sometimes I would tell them a story from my childhood, but I simply ran out of stories so I began making them up as I went along. This is the first of a collection of such stories. My good friend MJ is responsible for the illustrations as well as much of the editing. Her belief and inspiration helped take it from an idea to something I am proud of.показать меньше
