Galloway, Al: - Al Galloway is no stranger to adversity. He spent the first thirty years of his life dealing with undiagnosed Tourette's syndrome. Discouraged from pursuing a life in sports media, his diagnosis finally opened his eyes to what he might be able to accomplish, and what was really holding him back. Encouraged by his own example, he found other inspirational stories of athletes who had overcome huge obstacles and still found success. He wrote Inspired to show readers that they too can overcome life's challenges by using their failures to motivate themselves.

Al lives in Oakville, Ontario, with his wife of over thirty years, Doreen and their Golden Doodle dog, Riley.
