Life in a Nutshell

This book is a synopsis of many of the personal growth opportunities I have experienced throughout my life. These lessons were at times quite abrupt and yet most often learned and nurtured over long periods of time. My vast array of life experiences from "addict" to National Type 1 Incident Commander with the United States Forest Service provides a unique perspective worth sharing. I try my best to do so in a mildly humorous and engaging fashion with hopes this can be of value to the reader. Each chapter's story and message places emphasis on a specific character attribute with the intent of sharing my growth in that particular area. In doing so I offer the opportunity for others to use any part of this information as they see fit, to enrich their life in a positive way.
