Something About Me and My Book:

T.F. Hodge was born February 3, 1969, on the west side of Los Angeles, California. He struggled with reading and writing while attending grammar school. Motivated by his passion for sports, this once promising high school amateur athlete realized his calling to write after winning second place in his first essay-writing contest while attending high school. Inspired and challenged by his advanced placement English teacher, his football coach, and others in his community; the young student-athlete, who did just enough to maintain a 'C' average to play ball, earned eleven 'A's and one 'B' (posting a senior year grade point average of 3.916). Finally convinced he could hang with the academic crowd, the jock, at the last minute, found enough courage to apply for college.

Ultimately, resigning after serving as the [former] Senior Assistant to the Budget Director, Deputy Chief and Chief Financial Officer(s) of the second largest school district in the United States (Los Angeles Unified School District), he finally began pursuing his passion - writing! 'From Within I Rise' is his first publication, after a long and oftentimes tumultuous journey. His [true] story of triumph over death and conscious encounters with "The Divine Presence" is one that is riveting, provocative and inspiring! He has, no doubt, seen the best and worst of what life can be. T.F. Hodge is a man of Godly expression and he's seen and survived the harshness of the underworld. His story is full and uplifting. He is indeed one who has submitted to self, internal, and the will of divinity [God/The Divine Presence/Source].

    Looks like a great read, and a looks like you're living a great life. Cool bike - one of my sons is a motorcycle mechanic in Van Nuys.
