About the author
Kerry Kirby
<p>I was born in Alabama in 1964. I have two brothers the oldest Herb is 10 years older and Bobby three. </p>
<p> My dad was a sportswriter. He died when I was nine covering the Alabama versus Notre Dame Championship game. He managed to finish his story before collapsing. </p>
<p>My mom worked hard to take care of us and raise us. Herb and my Grandmother helped out.   </p>
<p>My  mom remarried when I was 13 and we moved to Cullman, Alabama.  I graduated from West Point Hgh in 1982.</p>
<p>Academically,  I have two Master Degrees in Science and Education and Bachelor Degrees in Biology and Journalism.</p>
<p>I studied a year abroad in London and loved it.  I was 20, it was my first real time away from home.</p>
<p>  After that I arrived back to finish my Biology Degree. I mainly worked writing sports like my dad. So, I went to Journalism School at UAB. I worked with the basketball program and learned coaching and how to scout. I started my own scouting service. I also started coaching kids and helping kids from all over the State get scholarships.  </p>
<p>After grad school,I became a Junior College Assistant and Instructor.  </p>
<p>A few years later, I helped a former player get into NBA Draft Camps. The next thing I know I am working and directing pro camps.</p>
<p>That led to coaching a Goodwill Tour to Chin. I was then offered a pro contract in England and took my team to the Play Offs with the help of the two Americans that I brought in to play.  I then went to Ireland and Jerusalem  before an accident damaged my knee and sent me home. </p>
<p>I had a heart attack 18 months later. That has led to diabetes setbacks and congestive heart failure.  However, it was a blessing. because my mom needed my help. .</p>
<p>I always have studied the Bible and taught Sunday School and I still do. I have read my Bible every day since I was in London in 1985 to present and still learn something new every day. </p>
<p>I decided to start writing about my amazing adventures and also tell how God has blessed me through it all. My  life has has been a great journey ever since. I am truly blessed. I plan to write about my basketball adventures next. </p>
