From Soldier to Storyteller
This book came about by accident - quite literally! Daniel woke up one morning with a weak, stroke-like right arm. An old Army injury had flared up and he ruptured a disk in his C-spine as he slept. The free floating disk fragments accumulated where the nerve exits the spinal cord, crushing it. What resulted was a five month lay off from work while he recovered from the Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. Not good at sitting idle, he wrote this book. It is titled All The Dumb Things because he has done (and seen) a lot of dumb things in his time!
