It's Okay, These Things Happen - Author

Believing in the power of presence in a child's life, Lee Hoedl left his fifteen-year career as a university administrator and educator to become a "residential education specialist" - a stay-at-home father for the Hoedl triplets (Emily, Hannah and Nicholas) born in 2003.

At the printing of this book in 2009, Emily, Hannah and Nicholas have entered kindergarten and Leo has entered sixth grade. Branching into a variety of free-lance opportunities while the triplets were growing, Lee spends his present time designing websites and directing the video/archival projects within hoedl's haven productions.

In between family responsibilities and free-lance projects, Lee finds time to remain an avid cyclist, a triathlete/marathoner in training, and photographer. And when that rare moment of time permits, Lee rejuvenates by high-altitude climbing to such locales as Ecuador, the Cascades and Rockies, and backpacking across the such locations as the Grand Canyon and Continental Divide. Just as well, Lee is satisfied simply playing guitar and just spending time with his wife Di and coaching his children in soccer and baseball.

Lee presently and blissfully resides in the heartland of America with his wife Di and children Leo, Emily, Hannah and Nicholas, and finds the source of his inspiration through them.
