Then Joined the Marines where he served four years. As a child he realized he could write well when he was in grade school. His teachers would tell him often he had the skills to be a writer. But he never followed up on his talent. While serving in the Marines, a fellow Marine, Lcpl Mayes and Bernard were over seas fighting the war on terror shortly after 9-11. While guarding a post for several hours at a time, Bernard would tell fictional stories from his imagination to his fellow Marine to pass time. Lcpl Mayes encouraged Bernard to write. After returning home from overseas, Bernard started on his first book Hustling or Hooping. And there are many books to come.
