Executive Hobo: Riding the American Dream
Steven ‘Bo’ Keeley is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, former national racquet champion, and has traveled the world… on a wing and a shoestring. “My life has followed the vicissitudes of Buck the Dog in Jack London's Call of the Wild: from comfortable back yards across America; boxcars on every major railroad; 100+ countries under a backpack; hiking the lengths of Florida, Colorado, Vermont, California, Death Valley, and Baja; to retirement in a desert burrow with Sir the Rattlesnake as a doorkeep… and a solar computer to write essays and memoirs.”  In 2007, he became the first California substitute teacher—most requested by students and faculty—to be fired surrounding a ‘playground war.’ He left to ride the rails, and then became an itinerant expatriate writing from selective global Shangri-Las including Iquitos, Peru, San Felipe, Baja, and, lately, unspoiled Lake Toba, Sumatra.
