About Prioleau

In a few words, I’m a conservative libertarian with anarchist leanings. I believe in the Magic Guy in the sky. I’m a dog person. I’m married, with no kids. I’m a former Marine Officer and a graduate of Auburn University. I’ve run with the bulls in Pamplona, survived 25 freefall skydives, and served as a Platoon Commander for 40 Marines and 10 Amphibious Assault Vehicles. As an adult, I worked for a year doing minimum wage jobs, and wrote a book about it. Then, I wrote a book about writing a book. Next, I walked across most of Spain on the Camino de Santiago, and wrote a book about that. Finally, I started reading some American history, and realized we’re not a nation—we’re a four time-zone lunatic asylum. So naturally I wrote a book about that.

If I can dig up enough dirt, debauchery, and scandal, I might just write a book about you.

My primary hobby is writing. I type words because I cannot do otherwise. It is a ridiculous and dying artform, and if you are an aspiring writers/author, you should pursue another calling… getting addicted to writing is not unlike messing with John Wick’s dog, as there are life-altering consequences.

My second biggest hobby revolves around guns and shooting them. Sadly, I’m a terrible shot with a shotgun, and where I come from that’s a sin on par with drinking an appletini at a hunting club’s hog roast. Like all hunters I know, I’ve never shot anything I didn’t eat.

I hope you enjoy my scribblings. If you really like them, tell a friend. Or many friends. Book purchases are the only thing keeping me from wearing a nametag and standing behind the counter at McBurger World.

Anytime I look back at the sunny slopes of long ago, I’m reminded of the great John Wayne quote:

Life’s hard… but it’s harder if you’re stupid.
