True story you have to hear to believe

This story is terrific. The fact it’s true is spectacular. You have to check this out. WOW!

Great Quick Fun

The story of Uncle Louie is truly unbelievable. I loved hearing all his amazing stories about living a life worth living. The narrator reminded me of Tony Soprano - but the life story of the author is a mix between the Sopranos, Entourage and King of Collectibles. Def recommend. A++++

Great Book! Uncle/Officer Louie shares his life lessons, experiences and secrets. CBP officers come from all walks of life.

I listened via Audible. Great voice!
I know of Louie through his law enforcement career and his excellent coin business.
A life of service comes from deep within one’s heart. Louie no longer wears the uniform but by sharing his story it’s evident he continues to care. He served his country with pride without erasing his dreams. Together they define who Uncle Louie is today.
After reading/listening to this book you will feel inspired to never give up. Louie is quick to share lessons learned so you are better prepared to make your dreams a reality.
