I am Leonard Jerry Horsford, born in Grenada and migrated to the USA at eighteen.

I am presently retired after a career in IT leadership spanning several decades. I developed My love of language working with my high school Principal, the late Creswell Julien - fondly known as Cressy.

Through years of studying Shakespeare, Chaucer, biblical texts, and authors like Thomas Hardy, he was my mentor.

My style of written expression was developed and established during these formative years, and I continue to use it.

As of this writing, Chesterfield, Missouri, is where my wife and I reside. We have three adult children and one grandchild.

My passions include coaching and mentoring others, photography, writing, tennis, and fishing.

"Walk With Me" is my first published work. It grew from my life experiences and that of others who invited me into their lives. I hope the lessons I have learned and shared through work will resonate with its readers.
