As a popular TV guest, author, speaker, and videographer, Paul Lloyd Hemphill was born in
Houlton, Maine in the last century.
After receiving his college degree with honors in philosophy, he was drafted into the US Army.
While serving in Viet Nam, he was awarded the 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 program for middle and high school students.
All based on America's most catastrophic man-made event, the Battle of Gettysburg.
He has written 6 other books, is an accomplished videographer, and has produced and narrated
4 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 character
and leadership 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."
His 5th book, YOU'RE AWESOME!, is an ebook of bite-size lessons for teens, with colorful
graphics and a lesson on each of 52 pages. Optional videos come free with your purchase.
He is the Chairman of American Education Defenders, Inc., a non-profit whose purpose is to
elevate the self-esteem of America's youth with a creative use of true stories and life lessons
from American history.
