An Appalachian Tale: A Memoir - 9781734159813

What kinds of trauma must an ambitious kid endure in his journey from a one-stop-light Ohio River town of 1,500 souls in the impoverished Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky to Columbia University in New York City? As Sam Snead proved, you don't have to have money to become an outstanding golfer. What role does golf play in this amazing tale of serendipity? How does this ambitious and curious kid go from New York City to Fort Worth, Texas, become a frustrated real estate lawyer with clients of national renown, then a successful commercial real estate developer and investor himself? Ride with him as he navigates the topsy-turvy storms of the capital intensive roller coaster world of commercial real estate in the wild, wild, west. This memoir is a tale of innocence, curiosity, ambition, dedication, intrigue, vulnerability, adversity, defeat, and triumph - in no particular order, other than chronological; it is a memoir, after all.
