Author Description

This story is based on a true event. It is written from the authors perspective (it's primarily an auto-biography type memoir). The story spans a decade from 2009-2020. The people in the book were all participants in some capacity. The story is based on one mans dream to become a World Champion in a nationally televised event that was broadcast annually by the Science Channel on Thanksgiving night (it was a popular Thanksgiving Special that would rival NFL games). The story explains the goals and objectives of the team and their methods to accomplish them. The story also includes the highlights and lowlights the team endured over that decade. Notably, there is a political tone that Team American Chunker had to deal with over those years as they tried to wrestle away the first place title from the local incumbents. It was truly a North - South struggle. The teams from the south were protective of their turf and it showed up on game day! The most important focus of the book highlights the individual team members themselves and their specific roles as well as the "Brotherhood" that was formed over the years. Team unity was paramount. Through the trials and tribulations the team forged a unique brotherhood, strong friendships, and a lasting bond. In The end, it was all about similar minds all chasing the same ultimate goal.
