Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I love writing in my spare time outside of my corporate life. I have a family of 4 with two young children as my wife and I reside in Clearwater, FL. I’ve written 4 books and have another on the way to publish later in 2020 around Corporate Leadership.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Investing Should Be Easy, Second Edition. I wrote the first copy and published it in 2015, but with so many changes in the world, the investment community, and frankly the global economy, I need to issue an updated version.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I listen to music when I write, it’s my calming practice as a set distraction.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are too many to count, but I feel like every year with more experience, my writing style changes a little bit. I would say with my exposure to Corporate America and folks in senior leadership, I try to eliminate fluff and get to the point faster.
What are you working on now?
Promoting my latest published book to get it into as many hands as possible.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still learning haha
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Set a goal and stick to it. 30 pages in 30 days and just write, don’t worry about correcting. Just get the words on paper
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all
What are you reading now?
Several books, I go through about 25+ books annually, along with Fortune and Mens Health magazine, along with lots of kids books to my kiddos.
What’s next for you as a writer?
keep up with my content, publish UnEntitled, a book on Corporate Leadership.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Hmmm, I’ll have to think about that one
