Gary was a successful S Carolina businessman who caught the American Dream but it almost killed him. An alcoholic, workaholic, doaholic, he hit rock bottom when his doctor informed him he probably had less than a month to live.

He turned his life around, getting sober and healthy, and decided to tell his story in a book, to help others and especially those suffering from mental challenges.

"Will helped me write the book and how he's starting up this foundation so we can help provide some innovative solutions to our mental health crisis."

Will worked in the non-profit sector for 21 years, developing educational programs and training volunteers in six countries. He is the author, co-author, contributing writer, or ghost writer for over 20 non-fiction books.

"I'm excited about this new challenge. After a lifetime of product development I'm looking forward to being in a more supportive role, especially interfacing with other foundations and learning the art of grant writing to fund our operations and then, as we have the resources, to support other organizations developing innovative solutions."
