Author bio
Sam was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia in the mid Sixties. He was the only child of two authentic West Coast hippies and wildly rebellious. This, combined with an inability to play well with others, landed him in all sorts of trouble, including run-ins with the law, addiction and homelessness.
His childhood shenanigans lasted well into his adult life.
Sam's first taste of success as a "grown up" was as a licensed Free Miner and Prospector during the heydays of the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Staking claims and banging rocks (among other things) in the rugged Mountains that stretch between California and Alaska suited Sam's restless nature. Spending most of his time in bush camps also help keep him out of trouble. In the Nineties the booming mining industry collapsed.
Sam's prospecting days came to a screeching halt.
These were hard drinking, high paying years for Sam. After a nasty run of addiction he ended up in rehab. Twenty-eight days later he emerged clean and sober and stayed that way throughout his entire thirties and into his forties. After a mid-life-crisis-relapse / party, Sam quickly returned to recovery.
Grateful for a second chance, he remains that way to this day.
In between near misses and direct hits, Sam attended University where he earned the required graduate education for designation as a Registered Planner (RP) in Canada. This launched him into a successful career working with First Nations, governments, and industry on business and community development projects. After fifteen years and hundreds of planning projects, Sam packed in his successful planning career to pursue his passion for writing. Today he writes full time from his rural, lakefront home in Northern B.C.
His wife and three daughters keep him on his toes.
In 2008 Sam was struck by lightning and now has superpowers. Immediately following the strike, at the tender age of 45, he began vigorous martial arts training and entered local open sparring competitions. In 2011 Sam was awarded gold in the Canadian National World Karate Council Competition.
Although he is retired from competition, he remains alert and ready for action.
Sam uses his rich history as the foundation for his writing. If you are interested in more Sam, scroll to his Amazon Kindle eBook listings on this page and add a little Edge to your life!
