Bill Garwin holds three college degrees and a third dan black belt in Shotokan karate. He resides in the high desert of New Mexico and can now wear his cherished cowboy hat year-round. Eight years of lacrosse, fifteen years of karate, and five years of fencing taught him lessons that can only be earned. While others may accept the fertile middle-ground, he respects his readers too much to write down to them, striving to blend action, humor, and considered reflection in his books. When you meet him, understand he enjoys nothing more than a conversation on a topic he has never before considered. He will, of course, opine with complete confidence.
