About the Series

The Mentored from Above series holds stories, lessons, and sonnets that are deeply God-inspired, reflecting on my own life and how I was profoundly influenced by countless friends and mentors. They helped me grow and improve through every encounter.

Our closest relationships and the lessons we learn often shape our character and invigorate our actions, motivating us to live greater lives. I truly believe the hand of God touched these stories, which I've written in sonnet form to further bring them to life. I want to show what it's like to have paid attention, to have accepted and applied the advice of mentors, to have received ongoing support, to have forged lifelong friendships, and ultimately, what it's like to have lived a "Mentored Life."

Few activities impact personal and professional growth as much as a true mentoring relationship. When done right, it's an exercise in connection that can be wonderfully influential and life-shaping. My life is a testament to this idea. It truly takes many people and experiences over a lifetime to mold us into who we are. Am I happy with who I've become? Absolutely. I'm the culmination of many God-inspired mentors placed in my life at various times to lead me to greatness. I didn't always get it right, but they accepted me for who I am.



These books are for them... to show them that I paid attention.
