Business executive Ken Davis tells a story of perseverance in this compelling memoir. It’s a journey from Small Town USA to big-time corporate decision-making. It’s about life’s challenges - and life-threatening challenges, too. It traces the impact that sports, mentors, and physical places can have on one’s path through life. It also describes the impact the Vietnam War had on someone who was drafted but did not serve - and the reason why.

In the end, what propelled him were his business assignments. They often seemed impossible, yet by succeeding with them, he accomplished what he would often preach to colleagues: business is best when you follow the three stages: Vision, Plan, Execute.

Life and work were an adventure for Davis, full of thrills, inspiration, suspense and, sometimes, danger.
