Signal Hill Warrior is a raw account of a boys rise to become a man during his service in the U.S. Marine Corps. It is an irreverent, funny, heartbreaking, and raw memoir written by a retired U.S. Marine that came from very humble beginnings in a sprawling suburb of Philadelphia named King of Prussia.

Follow the author’s story as he departs Signal Hill Road with his Mom and sister in a small Volkswagen during very formative years amidst his parents’ tumultuous divorce. After wandering aimlessly through high school, he joins the Marine Corps on a dare and starts a family while attempting to make sense not only of his past, but some new and significant personal challenges as well. Years later after combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, the author finally connects the dots of his troubled past thus making sense of an entire lifetime wondering ＂Why?＂ - since leaving Signal Hill Road.

No holds are barred in conveying the hilarity of youthfulness in the 80’s, characters encountered along the way, and the descriptive accounts of his wartime service.
