About the Author

Born on May 9th, 1953 in Lincoln Nebraska as a Mother’s day gift, with one older brother, Michael. My mother and father divorced when I was five, and in the next 12 years I was moved around extensively. I lived in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Arkansas, Wyoming and back around a time or two. Getting a strong schooling was difficult because we moved about every six months. My stepfather passed away suddenly in 1969, when I was just 16. In the next 7 years my mother married and divorced 6 more times. After his death, I went to school in the mornings and worked a full time job in the evenings, living basically, on my own. I was married in 1973 to a woman I knew for six months. In 1974 I enlisted into the military, got my GED and so my career in the military began. As an Infantry, Air Assault Soldier, I traveled to every continent of the world. It was during this time in the Army I picked up the nickname Crazy Jack or simply ‘CJ’; because I accepted missions that others would not.
