Synopsis "Hightide"
This book is a biography about my unique and extraordinary life that most people couldn't even imagine, or even comprehend. I had the best childhood, spending my summers in a log cabin with my grandfather in remote Alaska (even being rescued by a coast guard helicopter). This fueled my unique connection to animals and nature. I married my high school sweetheart; we have known each other since we were five years old. We have two wonderful children and two beautiful grandchildren.I am not proud of many things I have done (driven by my ego), but I wanted to write the book honestly, even though I am leaving myself vulnerable for criticism. There were the highest of highs and lowest of lows (I even left some out). If you have ever thought of doing something stupid or crazy, I have probably done it. From being arrested, to selling drugs, being chased home by a helicopter for going 180 mph on my motorcycle. I had a heart attack at 40. I lived on the edge; I am lucky and grateful to be alive. Even though I have always been spiritual, I figured my ticket to heaven was going to be on a buddy pass, because of my wonderful wife.As I transformed my life, I learned it is all about connections, experiences, love, honesty, integrity, being of service, and above all being grateful! No amount of money can make up for these things. A few years ago, I found out that I have a half-brother. We are making up for lost time. I have officiated both my children's weddings, plus the renewing of my parents vows for their 50th anniversary. I have been blessed with an incredible life.My intention is that one or many of the true stories will resonate with the reader, causing them to laugh, cry, and be thoroughly entertained. I have been told time and time again, I need to write a book and share my experiences. In so many words; YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!
