GERALD DAMON ADENT MUELLER, M.M.C. His birthplace no longer stands. It was a hospital in Tacoma Park, Maryland, a small breakfast community outside the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. After living in two state institutions, seven foster homes and 16 schools, he broke out of the bondage of institutional life at the age of 15. For the next three years he would spend hitchhiking around the country poverty-stricken, illiterate and abandoned.
Eventually, his travels landed him in Central Arizona where the car he was driving broke down on the Tempe “Mill Avenue Bridge in 1973. That would be the last of his wondering/traveling days. He would stay in Arizona where he married and had two sons, and after a 20-year construction career, he eventually pursued an education in journalism, making sure for the next seven education years, every step he would take would be a means to a successful writing career.
After earning a prestigious Master’s Degree at Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications, he started writing for every type of publication that would contract his services.
His first professional publications took place during a two-year internship, working for Maricopa County Community College District. For two years, he advanced his writing and publishing goals by writing weekly newsletter feature stories and designing several business web sites, authoring several business manuals and performing desktop publishing –from business cards to sophisticated business plans–and special articles published in newspapers and online throughout Arizona.
Today, he has scores of published web sites including fourteen sites which he maintains social media web development on a monthly upgrade basis.
In addition to writing his own biography, he has authored a book: Life of a Barber—The DOs & TABOOs, a story of a man’s journey, which was similar his own.
Now embarking on a career in publishing, Mueller has aspirations of publishing an online newspaper dedicated to preservation of our natural habitat and exposing injustices and waste in the American political system.
