His careers include being a NASA rocket engineer, light airplane designer, joint founder of a startup, computer systems manager, long-range planner, business executive, college instructor, sculptor, and now an author of fiction. After over 50 years of marriage he is most proud of his role as a father and grandfather.
As an award winning sculptor, he used abstract images of wood and bronze to tell viewers simple, yet inspiring stories about being human.
His passion for story telling took a different turn after a frustrating experience searching for his ancestor’s life stories. He learned that genealogy research didn’t reveal what his ancestors thought or how they felt. Lawrence decided to tell his story for his yet-to-be-born descendants so they would not encounter that same disappointment when they wonder about his life. His approach is to entertain them with superior stories, so they absorb the life lessons offered, and then to inspire them to achieve their dreams. He hopes that other readers might also enjoy and benefit from the stories.view less
