As I was growing up, I was "blessed" because everything came easily with little or no effort. However, while in college I started noticing that something was possibly wrong. I quickly dismissed it even though I barely graduated due to skipped classes, skipped tests, or the fact that I never studied. Then, while in graduate school (I got in due to a high GRE? score), I started becoming frustrated. I never finished. This led to several jobs, all of which I either quit, got fired, or transitioned out of. Of course, I then started several businesses which all failed even though they were all well received. Gradually I slipped into depression and financial ruin. One year, on my birthday, while sitting in a Starbucks, I asked God to take me home--I was finished. If not, would He somehow let me start over. The very next morning I was driving and listening to Glenn Beck. His show was on Adult A.D.D. It was as if the show was about me. It perfectly described my life. At this point the journey really began. This blog is about this journey. The beauty, the horror, the comedy, the lessons, the relationships, the life of my Adult A.D.D. I am a husband (to a very frustrated wife), a father, an entrepreneur, a failure, a risk taker, a book starter, a dreamer, and a confuser of other people (who just don't understand me and actually think I am insane).
