THE AUTHOR

I was born in Decatur, Alabama, grew up in Georgia and Mississippi, and have lived in New Orleans for many years.  After high school, I attended the Air Force Academy for a few months until I received an honorable medical discharge resulting from a severe case of meningitis and my first experience with bipolar disorder. Eventually I enrolled at the University of Georgia, where I received a BBA and MA, was named the most outstanding senior accounting student, and served as president of Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honor society. I worked in accounting for nearly thirty years, in both the private sector and eventually for the federal government.
I began writing in 1998, and my first book-length work, Focus Investing, was purchased by John E. Wiley & Sons, but never published, because of changing market conditions. Still, I had discovered the joy of writing and have since produced many essays, blogs, and books.  Deep Within My Heart is a published book containing many of my earliest essays.
My next book project was conceiving and compiling How to Achieve a Heaven on Earth, a collection of essays from 101 other individuals–from world leaders to Nobel and Pulitzer prize winners–about the ten elements of Heaven on Earth as I conceived of them at that time (peace, security, freedom, democracies, prosperity, racial harmony, spiritual harmony, ecological harmony, health, as well as moral purpose and meaning–at the urging of my local editor, Charlotte L. Piotrowski, who pushed for “gender equality,” I have sense added “gender harmony” to the list of ten elements).  I am especially proud of this work and hope it inspires humankind for generations.
In 2012, Ronald Reagan’s Wisdom for the Twenty-First Century was published, which excerpts some of Reagan’s most insightful and articulate quotations from before, during, and even after his presidency, coupled with commentary highlighting the ways in which Reagan’s wisdom is as relevant as ever. Then, in 2014, Glimpses of Heaven on Earth, a book of inspiring quotations and insightful essays by four other co-authors and me, was published. This book won the 2014 Living Now Book Awards bronze metal in Social Activism/Charity. My most recent literary project is The Bipolar Millionaire, my deeply personal memoir.
In 2006, I founded the charity Soldiers of Love, which encourages and enables ordinary citizens to work toward a better world. Soldiers of Love partners with other charities with similar goals, both in the local New Orleans community and beyond.  In 2011 I began producing the television series that also relates to the the goal of Heaven on Earth.
I am passionate about travel and have visited China, India, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Brazil, Argentina, much of Europe, Costa Rico, the Caribbean including Cuba, as well as much of North America.  Some of these trips have been spiritual journeys and mission trips. I enjoy learning about other cultures and my travels inspire my writing and philanthropy. I am equally passionate about my adopted hometown.  I enjoy New Orleans’ unique food, architecture, and music, as well as Saints football games.  I also cheer on the Bulldogs–The University of Georgia, which I attended, and Mississippi State University, where the Davis Wade Stadium was named after my father.

REVIEW

The main theme through the book is about the stigma of mental illness and an effort to do away with it.  This book isn't just for those with Bipolar Disorder but anyone who has or knows someone who has, a mental disorder.  This is a memoir about the author's life and the struggles he went through and the courage to face them.With any mental disorder comes a variety of stigmas, being suicidal, depression, mania, being discriminated against and sometimes being hospitalized.  Every person with a mental disorder affects people in different ways.  As Mr. Wade goes through his life being bipolar, he deals the best he can with the disease.  The Operation, a group doing research is controlling much of Mr. Wade's life.He lets his heart open and honestly tells about his life.If you have someone in your life with any mental disorder, try to practice patience, love and above all be there for them.Being bipolar has nothing to do with having a strong personality and will,  It has nothing to do with being a functional and fruitful individual.It's a disease and can be treated.  I feel  it took a lot of strength and courage to write about his life with being bipolar.  It's not an easy life but you can live a productive, happy life. We as a society, should be more tolerable.  People with mental illness haven't asked to have it.  It chose them.  It has nothing to do with these people being good, kind and loving people.  They are misunderstood. The author wrote a wonderful book that helps those with mental illness and those who have loved ones with the disease to be positive and try to overcome all the fears and stigmas that come with it.  

Be There.
Be Patient.
Be Kind.
Try to Understand! 

Thank you for the encouragement, Mr. Wade.
