Hi,
My name is Michael Dow and I was born and raised in Birmingham, AL. I currently live in Tucson, AZ. My wife's name is Amanda and we have a son named Kegan.
I earned a B.A. in Psychology from Auburn University ('99) and a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from U.A.B. ('01). I began pursuing a career in Medicine and took the MCAT. About a month later, the events of 11 Sept. 2001 occurred and I had a paradigm shift. I choose to change careers and am currently still serving in the U.S.A.F.
I'm the Manager of Dow Creative Enterprises, LLC which is responsible for publishing books and websites. The following are my current published materials:
Create For Your Kids
® - www.CreateForYourKids.com - A Place to Share Creative Ideas For Raising Children. - This is a website meant to be a global brainstorming session using pictures to generate ideas for parents onhow best to raise their children. We expect to have the website available for viewing in all major languages of the world by the end of 2010.
The Pen and Paper Diet
® -
www.ThePenAndPaperDiet.com - This weight managment book provides a simple way for the general public to control one's weight. The book combines information from the National Academy of Sciences, the CDC and the USDA. Since it is based on science, easy and basically free, I expect that the concepts in the book will eventually become part of our common knowledge. Any adult can lose weight with this diet and then maintain their ideal weight to a specific pound for the rest of their life. This can all be done while eating the types of food one likes. All one needs is A Personal Daily Calorie Budget
™. The book has been published in a generic international version (Metric Edition) and has also been translated into spanish (US version).
