About the Author

Michael D. Chavez is an international business development provider for new company start-ups. He has a love of the Arizona West, mixed in with a collage of the American Indians and Old World Cartography. His travels throughout the world and his work assignments in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Belgium, Belize, and Mexico have given him a unique perspective in understanding the growth periods between pioneers and modern-day processes. As a wandering Pisces, he always sees life through the prism of the “Gallant Western Cowboy.” A man, his horse, his friends, and a good campfire inspire the true feelings of a by-gone era when a man had to be a man, with no ribbons given for just showing up.
