In that way, you probably have a lot in common, and Lessons Learned is filled with stories of daily living, often humorous, sometimes faced with tragedy, and others with personal stupidity. Brian is often referred to as "the real life Clark Griswold", and you'll understand the comparison by the end of this book.

Lessons Learned will have you Laughing. Crying. Cringing. When Brian began sharing his stories, colleagues and friends suggested he put them in a book. So he wrote Lessons Learned. Sherman's experiences will touch your heart and inspire you to live each moment, love your family and friends, and follow adventure where it might take you, at least some of the time. From having a man die in his arms, to several near misses with death, to the gut-wrenching pain of leaving his family behind to serve his country, divorce, a troubled pregnancy, a DNA test which solved a 22-year mystery by confirming a beautiful young lady is biologically his daughter, and the tragic accident that took his brother's life, Sherman has lived a lifetime in a few decades. His mother has won millions in the lottery, he has created a pop culture icon, and was involved with marketing James Dean's tomb and more. Each story is followed by lessons he's learned from to encourage and inspire you.
