While studying at the University of Puget Sound, a criminology course led to a research project with the Tacoma Police Department that helped inspire much of his first book. After college, Burr’s passion for adventure sparked a six-year Navy assignment that included serving on two United States Navy submarines during the Cold War era. His four-decade business career in the life insurance industry started in Tacoma, Washington and took him to Southern California where his agency won international recognition and became a model of excellence for his commitment to cultural diversity. In 2008, Burr Anderson CLU ChFC’s industry involvement with the General Agents & Managers Association (GAMA International) earned him a place in the prestigious GAMA International Hall of Fame. Since that time, he has taught numerous classes on sales and management as well as managing successful solo business projects. In addition to his professional pursuits, he dedicates much of his resources to local philanthropies, including serving on numerous boards and previously acting as the president of the local chapter of the Boys & Girls Club. Community minded, Anderson donates his time and expertise to political campaigns, youth baseball, and supporting local police departments. Anderson and his wife Nancy also enjoy painting as award-winning artists of acrylic and watercolors, respectively. He brings his diverse experiences to bear in his exciting first novel and hopes that you, too, will begin to question what goes on behind even the most mundane facades of those around you.view less
