Text Box:

Text Box: Michael Conrad Kelley was born in Denver, Colorado. He grew up in Littleton, and now resides in Aurora, Colorado. 
Michael is the Operations Manager for a communications firm where he has been employed for the past twelve years. He has worked in the wireless industry as a manager of sales and service for nineteen years.  He served as a member of the Motorola Dealer Forum for 2005 where he assisted a nationwide panel in streamlining distribution and sales practices.  Michael has also served as the President of the Kipling Sun Town home Association. 
He enjoys sports of all kinds including snowboarding, tennis, golf, basketball, and outdoor recreation. However, his true passion is fast pitch softball, where he has spent over 16 years playing for a men’s major competitive team known as the Pueblo Bandits. The sudden loss of his best friend, and brother-in-law, Darrell Garza inspired “Zooch the Pooch,” in an effort to help children understand how to deal with loss and to have a way to teach Darian, his niece, a little about who her father was. This is his first publication.
