Davidson spends much of this time working with administrators, teachers

broad base of practical, business and community service experience to his
writing.
Some of his many awards and achievements include: an Arkansas Salesman

“Davidson definitely has a way with words,” said the Log Cabin Democrat,

you feel better about yourself.”
