Bob Parsons publishes autobiography
GoDaddy founder and former CEO Bob Parsons has published his rags-to-riches autobiography, Fire in the Hole!
Subtitled The Untold Story of My Traumatic Life and Explosive Success, the book is co-written with jobbing celebrity biographer Laura Morton, who’s previously worked with GoDaddy-sponsored racing driver Danica Patrick.
It promises to detail “the exploits of his youth, his hellish days at the mercy of Catholic school nuns, his harrowing tour of combat duty in Vietnam as a US Marine, his pioneering contributions to the software and internet industries, and his latest ventures in power sports, golf, real estate, and marketing.”
“This is a story of how I started with absolutely nothing and made over $3 billion,” Parsons said in a press release.
Published yesterday by Forefront Books, it’s already ranked #1 in Golf Biographies on Amazon.
I’m going to wait for the paperback, so I can’t speak to its contents, but cover quotes reveal that Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rob Lowe and Nick Jonas all enjoyed it.
Hopefully he will talk the nice treatment he did to the elephants.
I downloaded it on Kindle yesterday. So far I’m in his childhood. Suffice it to say, he had an interesting upbringing.
I look forward to the review 🙂
