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.

Americas Front Line

I am a reading addict. Now I am also listen to audiobooks. So I can constantly learn from others. I met Louis about 12 years ago at a martial art convention where he brought Goldberg to sign autographs and teach a martial art seminar.

I personally think we hit it off the first time we met and have been in contact ever since. I even visited him at his home and he introduced me to all his animals and we ate a vegan pizza.

I absolutely loved his book and I learned so much about him that was a bit of a mystery. His book really cleared up how he became such a success and how driven he was his entire life. He really has achieved so much. I am honored to know him and I am happy he shared his life with all of us.

His book was great but the narrator was amazing too. He sounded to me just like Tony Soprano. Not sure if that was intentional or just my perception. It was great he spoke just like he was from NY accent and all. If anyone is looking for a great read of a super interesting person then pick up a copy right away. I give this five out of five stars. I absolutely loved it. .
