My first book, TAILWINDS, began as a list of statements I wanted to impress upon my children while I contemplated my life potentially ending sooner than I desired. Some time later, it became an expansion of opinions and beliefs of mine, unapologetically affirmed. A conclusive list of topics never became the goal, nor considered possible.

Avoid the illusion of believing mastery of anything will grant success. While on earth we all remain a work in progress; may you find my writings and counsel useful tools in your journey.
