My most recent book is "How Abraham Lincoln Used Stories to Touch Hearts, Minds, and Funny Bones." I am now working on a second Lincoln book, "The Abe Lincoln Bootcamp: "Make Each Day Count and Awaken the Sleeping Giant Within." I make frequent presentations to groups about Abe Lincoln and Storytelling. I formerly worked for the state of Arizona for 14 years. During that time, I started a business in my spare time buying fixer-upper houses and turning them into rental properties. In another life, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras, where I worked as a teacher trainer in rural schools, and started chicken projects. My first book, “Fix em Up, Rent em Out,” was an award-winning finalist in the National Best Book Awards. My wife, Angy, and I joined forces to pen, "Turn Your Home Into a Rental House, Instead of Selling It!" It was named the winner of the 2013 USA Best Book Awards: Real Estate Category. I reside in Tucson, Arizona with my wife, 2 boys (affectionately referred to as “I want” and “buy me”), and Blackie, the wonder dog.
