***THIS PROFILE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ENEMY AT THE GATES***

Please share some of your background:
Average guy. Last of the baby boomers, born in 1963. Lifetime sales/marketing guy. Avid reader of thrillers and military history.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
First book 2nd day of release. There had been a pretty good pre release pitch and let’s be honest, years ago terms like The Next Ludlum or Clancy was not tossed as easily.

Which book is your favorite?
First book because of the introduction to the characters. Honestly, I loved every book penned by Vince.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
I related most to Stan. I respect our patriarchs and I can’t imagine Mitch without the Stan back stories

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Spoiler: Until Enemy At The Gates ,I would have said Mike Nash. I thought he would have been a natural for the future books.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
In 2001 I suffered a back injury that lead to more issues up to this day. This series actually forced me to sit up, read and then discuss with others. At this point I was unable to walk and had eliminated most social relationships. I mourned Vince and adopted Kyle who has performed above and beyond
