No this is not for publicity as I am not selling these cookbooks anymore. I wrote a cookbook of recipes around the world. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. Now I don't have to rely on my memory when I decide to cook.

I have done and continue do things I'm proud of. I, along with some other Veterans, started a small non-profit here in Pittsburgh to support the nearly 50,000 Post 9/11 Veterans in the area.
