    》》About Daryl:

    After a humble and often tumultuous beginning to his life, Daryl Dittmer embarked upon a journey of relentless exploration, change, and personal transformation, at the age of 19.

    Having hailed from a blue-collar family and upbringing, work-ethic was instilled early and often. Daryl was put to work as a farm hand at an early age, at $1.50 per hour, and learned the immense value of hard work and long days.

    Since those days, Daryl has been a carpenter, sales professional, business owner, builder, landlord, real estate investor, and consultant. Now, we’re able to add “author” to that list.

    Daryl feels very fortunate to have had mentors assist him with his life’s journey and wants nothing more than to pass on what was so graciously given to him. He considers it an honor to be in a position to do that.

    He lives in the mountains of North Georgia with his wife, Kristina, and their two labs, Dexter and Joker, writing, hiking, reading, learning, and growing.
