About the novel

Leapfrog was started during business school in 1995 as an outlet from case studies and financial statements. During this time, my father was diagnosed with a rare form of prostate cancer. Eight months later, he was gone. Through difficult times, the novel was finished but a business career was already in full swing. For the next eight years, several drafts were completed and then stored away and forgotten.
