My name is Hank Walsh and I was born in 1961, which makes me fifty-five years old. I was raised in Ottawa, Illinois and still reside in the rural Ottawa area. My dad always said, live life to the fullest for it goes by fast - and I've done just that. I enjoy life with many activities and I thoroughly enjoy motorsports; but my passions are hunting and conservation that I both live and breathe. My two children - Kelsey and Kale - are my life that I love very much and to whom this book is dedicated.
