His Story: A Story of Growth, Change, and Learning
I believe that each person’s life is like a book and each day we wake up we get to add another page to that book. “His Story” is a set of short stories that have been taken from the pages of my life’s book. It was written to add value to others and to help people think, grow, change, and learn. The reason I have written short stories of my life is that I have found great growth from others’ stories. Those people’s stories have influenced me, changed me, allowed me to grow, and have helped in my journey to become the man, father, and husband I am today. Because I have been affected in a tremendous way by other people’s stories, I feel that it is my calling to help others love their story and live a life they want and deserve to live. Thank you for joining me in my story and I can’t wait to hear yours.
