Weaved chronologically into a series of short stories, his memoir is full of leadership tips he picked up along the way from the Boy Scouts to commanding forces in multiple states during 9-11 to leading 3,000 special operators on high-risk, global missions.

He currently trains the top five Coast Guard positions in every US port and has traveled to seventy-six different countries instructing foreign police, coast guard, customs and navies.
