Curt Ghormley

I invested 4 decades with a Fortune 50 corporation, including a 10-year tour as a national sales manager in technology. My passion is writing and public speaking. My interests are US history, military history, culture, politics, tuba, guns and outdoor activities. I love 4-wheeling jeep trails and hiking in the mountains. I own recreational farmland in Kansas.

In 2022 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer. Stumbling from one life-threatening challenge to another, I spent 3 months in hospital, much of it at the edge of death. I lived to walk out.

Today the cancer is in complete remission. I self-published Alligator Wrestling in the Cancer Ward and narrated the audio version myself. It is a gut-wrenching and highly entertaining story of optimism, determination, anxiety, unbelievable pain and unconquerable faith.

One Amazon reviewer said, “I never thought I would laugh so hard reading of someone’s leukemia story!”

I have been married to my wife for 41 years. We have two adult sons, both adopted, both with US Army service and both now profitably employed in the USA as civilians. There are 3 grand children.
