He's an alum of Gannon University, married to a wonderful woman (and awesome chef), holds his dream job, is an advocate for dwarfism awareness and is the proud father of an angel child who inspired him to write his first book "The Bright Red Little Cardinal," which he'll discuss and read from. A book sale and signing will follow the discussion.
