Having suffered years of intense traumas, having traveled the world,  and being an obsessive reader and acute observer, have given me unique insights about many different issues.

I'm still alive, sane and laughing. Why is that such an accomplishment?

A "Writer's Digest" contest judge stated:

"...It’s hard to believe Neuman has lived to tell this story, and has risen above all these hardships and even remained sane. ...the author and his brother have both succeeded in leading fully successful lives, devoid of bitterness.

'Heroes' and 'Triumph' indeed! ... gripping, and told in great detail... A most memorable story."

I'm an inspirational, motivational speaker and was recently voted to be the president of a Toastmasters International club. I volunteer as a chaplain with the pastoral care team at the local regional and psychriatric hospitals.
