With his gifts for academic research and storytelling, Riggs shares his story of triumphing over adversity. As a child, Bryan was a tornado who couldn’t speak intelligibly or control his temper. Today, he speaks two languages, earned a Ph.D., served in the Israel Defense Forces and the U.S. Marine Corps, taught at the university level, worked on Wall Street, and built a successful financial services firm. All from a boy who couldn’t read or write until he was eight! His journey is a blueprint for creating a life that works with neurological differences, and not against them.
