Nathan Menoian ABOUT ME: I was born in Michigan to parents of Armenian descent and attended public schools in Dearborn and West Bloomfield. Flying kites, bike riding, and neighborhood baseball games were part of my youth. Teamwork was a valuable life lesson I learned as a sprinter on my middle-school track team. At 19, I joined the U.S. Navy. Afterwards, I enrolled in college, earning a Journalism Degree from Oakland University. It was there that I invited Jesus Christ into my heart, becoming a born-again Christian. Throughout my years as a writer: From newspaper reporting, writing editorials, spending twelve years in the Advertising Department with a national discount retailer, publishing a monthly business magazine, and handling a variety of freelance work, I've been the recipient of many blessings, friends, and challenging opportunities. Both of my sons are successful in their chosen careers. Michigan remains my home, and authoring this book is the latest highlight in my writing experiences.
