A Boy's Life - Hardback

These are the true stories of a boy born in 1950 to deaf parents in Los Angeles who grew up in Redondo Beach spending much of his youth in the South Bay area of Southern California, surfing, hot-rodding cars, dirt bikes, and dreaming of being an actor or the next Elvis. After high school he sidesteps an education at UCLA by joining the Navy to dodge the draft and ends up work-ing with Marines, Army, and Seal Teams in Vietnam and Cambodia. He failed at two marriages, raised a great son, had multiple affairs while managing a successful career in the broadcast industry, experienced countless brushes with greatness and skied some of the world's greatest moun-tains in the Intermountain West. This memoir reflects on an over seventy-year journey that took the author from the beaches of Southern California to the mountains of Idaho and much of what occurred along the way.
