Overview

When I bounced the idea of an accidental life off Jim Browne, my financial manager with a keen understanding of the human condition, he said that all of us benefit from serendipity, from the accidental life. (We in fact met by happy accident.) He added that my life was and is typical, or perhaps a tad off the norm. Surely he's correct in that we all benefit from fortuitous events, but I think he's incorrect in that such events in my life are typical or normal. I feel quite strongly, and without a scintilla of evidence, that I outrank most other people in both number and impact of life-changing events, or, perhaps, I am just more aware of them. I'm betting that you'll agree after you read about the many accidental happenings that shaped my life and, by extension, my writings. Enjoy and, I hope, relate.

Author Information

Call it fate, unintended consequences, or just dumb luck, Pete Geissler knows that his long and fulfilled life is the result of seemingly accidental events. Are they truly accidental, or are they the result of being in the right place at the right time? Is there a difference? A professional writer, teacher/coach of writing, and publisher, Pete connects accidental events to his writings via an autobiographical play in four acts. Pete lives happily in Pittsburgh PA, in itself an accident. He has written extensively about management, the environment, energy, technology, marketing, and other topics germane to business and society, and he has taught advanced professional and technical writing at Duquesne University's Graduate School of Environmental Science and Management, Carnegie Mellon University's English Department, and various professional societies and firms.
