Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List (2026); First Horizon Award Finalist – Eric Hoffer Award; Internation Impact Award Author fo the Year Finalist

A retired military officer, a licensed attorney, and global IT executive. In retirement, I lean into the rhythms that matter most: vinyl spinning, the roar of a college or professional football crowd, a German Shepherd at my side, and the laughter of friends and family filling the Florida air. I usher at local concert venues not just for the music, but for the stories unfolding in every seat. I regularly visit my son in West Palm Beach and enjoy a tremendous life with my wife.
