Author Bio
Ohio native Lou Hebert attended University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University, but he earned his advanced degrees in life from the many "professors" met around bars, poolrooms, police stations, street corners and factories. His talents as a broadcast journalist have netted him several Emmy Awards, AP Awards and a coveted John Foster Peabody Award for investigative documentary production. Lou is an avid reader who loves nature, writing music and, when he has time, playing golf as badly as he plays guitar. He has five sons and a very understanding and tolerant wife.
