“What does a good life really look like when you look back on it—not through achievements, but through everything it took to get there?”
That question sits quietly at the heart of My Good Life: The Man Who Refused to Quit
Presented as a memoir, the book traces the author’s life across several remarkable chapters. It begins with his early years and education, moves through his experiences in the U.S. Air Force, and follows his transition into technology, education and research. Along the way, readers encounter military assignments, professional challenges, academic pursuits, family experiences and the many decisions that gradually shaped his life. His journey eventually includes becoming a lieutenant colonel, earning advanced degrees and completing a Ph.D. after years of work and study.
What gives the memoir its depth is that it doesn’t present success as a straight line. The story includes setbacks, uncertainty, difficult choices and periods of change alongside its accomplishments. There is also a strong emphasis on family, including reflections on his parents and an extensive look at his ancestry, giving the book a sense of personal history and legacy.
The closing chapters move beyond the events of his life into the principles he has taken from them: kindness, courage, gratitude, self-discipline, facing fears, learning from others, accepting yourself and making the most of each day.

A compelling read for anyone interested in memoirs, personal journeys, perseverance and the lessons that emerge from a life fully lived.
