Book details
Overview
This book is dedicated to my grandpa, John Raymond Griggs, who was the foundation I needed when growing up as a young man. He gave me the love and stability I desperately needed while growing up in what could only be called a highly dysfunctional family. Along the way, he taught me about service to others, as well as so many important life lessons. I owe my success to many people I have encountered throughout my life but none more than my Grandpa Griggs. Without his influence, I would probably have become just another statistic instead of having a successful life in both personal and business dealings.

To say my childhood was dysfunctional is an understatement.

But of course, I did go through it. Because of the good influences in my life, I learned how to function as a contributing member of society. I believe I have succeeded whereby all accounts I should probably have just become a statistic. I would like to think that my life can be used as an example of what people can accomplish no matter what background they come from; by surrounding yourself with good people just about anything can be overcome.
