Overcoming Roadblocks

By Patrick Flanders

This book describes the life story of events that started with a baby in Chicago born from an entrepreneur and his secretary. The mother was a Polish descendant who never knew her family ancestry. This boy grew up during the 1970s and 1980s in Chicago and Maryland.

The journey includes how this boy overcame suicide, alcoholism, getting expelled from middle school, arrests, DUIs, three divorces, and injuries from car accidents, a shovel to the head, a gunshot, seizures, and a motorcycle traumatic brain injury (TBI). He overcame these roadblocks and became a US Marine Persian Gulf War veteran, college senator, graduate with a BS in chemical engineering, successful salesman, business owner, and more.
