"Foggy Googles is a sequel memoir to my first book called 'Do you know who I once was.' In my discussions with my editor on the first book, she suggested I leave out many of my stories and memories about my firehouse years, my amazing wife Teri, my ski career and entrepreneurial years and try to focus the book on my transition to that of being a transgender woman. I agreed and I believe that first book helped me move forward in reaching my personal mission goal of educating and enlightening others about the transgender community. After publishing it and in allowing some friends and family to read some chapters that were left out, the common response I received was that I should publish them and include them in a sequel, so “Foggy Googles” became a reality."
"This book will also include an update on my transition over the past six years, which have been some of the most rewarding of my life. Why the name “Foggy Googles?” Well, in the book I speak of my 50 years of being a skier and having a career in the ski industry. If you know anything about skiing and have had an experience with having foggy googles while skiing, you realize that it can lead to crazy results. Your vision could be impaired, and many funny, sad, or unbelievable events could happen. In this book you will read about some of my personal stories, and I believe you will enjoy hearing some of my own “Foggy Goggles” experiences."
It was such a relief when I finally was able to come out full time and have that burden lifted off my shoulders of being in hiding and not living my true authentic self. I have absolutely loved my life since coming out as a trans woman in 2016. I am a huge advocate for the LGBTQ community, especially the transgender community, and serve on three different boards as well as organizing a huge trans event in Vegas every year."
