Ted is my husband. He is a retired veteran from the Army National Guard and works in the IT and security industry.

Our life is full of adventure and laughter and this book is a peek behind the proverbial curtain at some of our conversations. A twelve-year-old with thirty-two years of experience, Ted has the most amazing imagination that leads us down many conversational rabbit holes. Join us as we talk about entertainment, travel, our neighborhood, and life.
