Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up? And how did this influence your writing?
I grew up mainly in two areas while my father served as a Marine. Woodbridge, Va and Oceanside, Ca. During these years in these two areas I experienced much mistreatment and bullying with constant threats of violence if I attempted to so much as say a word back to the young thugs that were mistreating me. That led me to study the martial arts in a attempt to put this to a stop but I quickly found out that conventional martial arts at that time was just not enough so this led me to conducting many years of research into finding out what worked and what did not work. Now Im a certified self defense instructor myself with a agenda of putting violence against the weak and the honest living to a stop. I also got into fitness and wellness over the years as well and most recently, business and personal development. These are the areas I focus on regularly.
When did you first start writing?
Maybe as early as my teenaged years lolol!! I was always writing research notes and I have been writing articles for two years now so I figured why not start writing books about my passionate topics?
