Writing about real estate, leadership, faith, and the decisions that shape our lives. But behind the professional "structure" of my career, there was a story that needed to be told—a story that began with a 3.8 GPA and a wrestling scholarship at Lycoming College and ended in a chemical fog that nearly cost me everything. The Mission I am currently writing my memoirs, a deep dive into the realities of addiction, the "guinea pig" era of pharmaceutical intervention, and the long, jagged road to recovery. My writing doesn't blink at the dark stuff—the 7:00 AM mouthwash rituals, the "amber library" of bottles, and the trauma that lived in the silence. The Foundation Today, my life looks a lot different. I am a Christian, a husband, and a father to three boys who keep me grounded and on my toes. I’ve traded the pharmacy for the Bible and the "hustle" for a life built on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. Whether I’m consulting for a business or drafting a chapter on the "409 rituals" of Long Beach Island, my goal is the same: Total Transparency. I believe that we are only as sick as our secrets, and I’ve decided to stop keeping mine. On this site, you'll find: The LBI Chronicles: Behind-the-counter dispatches from the Broadway Pizza era. These are stories of the "hustle"—trading "mistake" pies for beer, pocketing cash, and navigating the weird, salt-crusted social hierarchy of Long Beach Island. The Guinea Pig Files: A hard-eyed look at the intersection of addiction and the medical system. I dig into the "pharmaceutical architecture" of my nineteen-year-old self—the pills, the misdiagnoses, and the physical reality of a body in open rebellion. The Fatherhood Ledger: Real-time reflections on raising three boys in an ever-shifting world. No fluff, no "perfect parent" filters—just the honest work of being a husband and a believer who knows that the "Hamson Way" is built on grace, not perfection. Consulting & Strategy: Leveraging 25 years of freelance writing and business consulting. This is the professional lens I use to deconstruct complex problems, whether it's for a corporate client or within the pages of my own story.

Salespeople: Altruistic Efforts or Ulterior Motives?

People are sick of being taken advantage of by scammers, and salespeople are tired of being labeled as cons, but some may not know the difference between real salespeople and con artists.
