About S. L. Young

Mr. Young became an author in 2012 with the release of his first book in the "It's a Crazy World...Learn From It" series.

Mr. Young graduated from the American University in Washington, D.C. with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) degree in International Business with a marketing concentration. He also graduated from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. with the following degrees: Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) in Finance and Investments with a human resources concentration and a Master of Science in Project Management.

Mr. Young's professional career includes approximately fifteen years with Fortune 500 companies, including Bell Atlantic, MCI, Sprint Nextel, and various consulting engagements, in the areas of billing, customer service, engineering, finance, information technology, network security, operations, product development, and software quality assurance.

Mr. Young teaches a variety of business courses, such as Business Communication, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Introduction to Business, and Organizational Behavior, at a community college for over five years.

In 2012, Mr. Young created a non-profit organization to provide educational services to at-risk communities. This non-profit provides him with an opportunity to give-back to the community after he was directed to leave high school in 10th grade, graduated in the bottom 8% of his high school class, and attended several colleges prior to actively becoming engaged in the educational process. These experiences drove him to create his non-profit.

In January 2015, Mr. Young launched a for-profit business, which provides solution-oriented services to help individuals and organizations maximize output potential.
