Senate, and set three transcontinental cycling world records. His story also offers a firsthand perspective on Georgia's business, political, and philanthropic climate in the last quarter of the twentieth century and serves as an important case study for anyone interested in overcomng a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Readers will also discover practical leadership lessons and unconventional ways of approaching business.
