About Paul Lloyd Hemphill

As a popular TV guest, author, speaker, and videographer, Paul Lloyd Hemphill was born in Houlton, Maine in 1946. After receiving his college degree with honors in philosophy, he was drafted into the US Army and served in Viet Nam, where he was awarded the coveted Bronze Star Medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.

He returned home to a life-long career in marketing and advertising, and used his philosophical training in critical thinking to inspire his ability to write thousands of short and information-packed radio ads; he brings that same get-to-the-point style to his writing.

He converted one of his books to video and audio, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS, as a character development and leadership program for middle and high school students.

All based on the most famous Civil War battle, the Battle of Gettysburg.

He has written 4 other books, is an accomplished videographer, and has produced 3 audiobooks.

His first book, Why You're Already A Leader, uses known and unknown leaders at Gettysburg to prove, with 88 short stories, that leadership is in your DNA. This is the book that inspired its adaptation for the teen audience, with the author's latest book, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS. which the author has converted to video and audio as a leadership and character development program.

His second book, How To Win The College Game, reveals his many secrets to get into and to afford college.

His third book, Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age, answers one question: "How can I benefit from what this person did at Gettysburg?" Gettysburg leadership is a metaphor for who and what we are.

Hemphill's fourth book, Planning For College, says one reviewer, is "endearing and hilarious."
