Below the Breaking Point
IF THIS BOOK SAVES JUST ONE LIFE, IT WAS WORTH IT.
“This is a story many overachievers, workaholics, and perfectionists need to hear—
especially those who have carried the burden of believing everything depends on them,
when God never asked them to carry it alone.”
— Lynette Entzian, PhD
“It was hard, it was raw… anyone that reads it will be able to relate. It’s real. I’m buying
one for everyone in my immediate family.”
— Lisa Stephens, RN

About me
I Turned My Experience
into a Story.
I carried a backup plan in my head for nearly fifty years. I called it The
101st Option. I thought everyone had one.
They don’t.
On August 22, 2025, I ran out of moves. The funding fell through. The payroll was
due. The bank had been sold. And the wiring I’d been carrying since childhood
was activated.
My wife found me in a parking garage in Annapolis.
I’m a survivor. A husband. A father. A farmer. Nearly fifty years in the
business. And I almost became a statistic.
This book is what happened next.

The Book
Available on Amazon now!
I wrote this book for three kinds of people: the one who’s struggling, the one who loves someone
who’s struggling, and the one who wants to understand how a guy like me ends
up in a parking garage with a plan. If you’re carrying something right now that you think no one else would
understand—you’re wrong.
