Our Kickass Boomer of the Day is Charlie Sheldon, the author of “The Strong Heart” book trilogy. Previously, he worked on seaports for almost 30 years as a tribal negotiator, construction manager, project manager, and eventually executive. After retirement, he briefly returned to the sea for four years as a merchant sailor before becoming a full-time writer. 

The product of his 11-year writing journey is his trilogy, which he considers a timeless classic. When he’s not writing, Charlie is bonding with his family and hiking in the Olympic National Park.
