The Family behind the Beekeeper series.
David Grokenberger
Author
David Grokenberger (The Beekeeper) is a lawyer, national tennis champion, and most importantly, a devoted dad – teaching his 7 children and 13 grandchildren, and anyone else who will listen, about the value of positive thinking.
David is the author of “The Beekeeper Series”, “The Courtside Quick Reference Manual”, and the “The Prozone Playing Cards”. The Beekeeper Series shares the journey and importance of finding one’s way in a sometimes confusing world. His children are his treasures. In caring for all of our treasures, he offers illustrations of how to begin to “see, believe, and do” in order to achieve the best one can be and to just “bee” oneself.
