Hi. My name is Allen. I am 47 years old. I am medically retired police officer and a stroke survivor. My stroke changed my life and gave me a new appreciation for all mankind. It has inspired me to reach out and learn about different people and different cultures. My stroke affected my vision and my mobility. Since I can no longer drive or do any physical labor, I have followed my passion of writing. I am currently working on a series of children's books that focus on agriculture education. I am blessed with two loving parents, a beautiful fiance and three children. (22, 17, 4 )
