Donald J. Hurzeler epub My Pretentious Memoir

Don Hurzeler was raised like a free-range chicken. He took that upbringing with him into the world of athletic competition and then a long career in corporate America. Mistakes were made along the way. His previous book, WHAT’S LEFT OF DON, focused on his adventures. This book focuses on his misadventures, featuring some of the dumbest and most humorous mistakes you will ever encounter. Like his failed attempt at marketing condoms with corporate logos or attempting to ride a killer whale in a marine life park at 3am or, thinking at age 50, that being in the mosh pit at a Green Day concert might be fun. It was not. If you want a book that will make you laugh, feel like you’ve made good decisions in your life, and then er punch you with a Christmas story that makes the author look like gold, this is a must read.ABOUT THE AUTHORDon Hurzeler was an athlete in his youth, a surfer all of his life, a man of the sea, a runner, photographer, writer and a successful businessman.
