Michael Perry is a New York Times bestselling author\, humorist\, corporate speaker\, volunteer firefighter/first responder\, and amateur snowplow driver.

Perry’s latest title is Improbable Mentors & Happy Tangents: How firefighters and poets\, truckers and nurses\, soldiers and singers\, and other improbable individuals can show you the way in business and creativity.

And none of it—whether it’s a television documentary\, a song\, or a book—happens unless I sit down and write. Fortunately\, writing is my favorite thing\, and I’m grateful for the improbable mentors and happy tangents that delivered me to this place.” Perry lives in rural Wisconsin and can be found online at www.sneezingcow.com.
