About the Guest
Luke Marusiak “was raised in
Western Pennsylvania. He served in the US Army culminating with the 1st
Infantry Division in Desert Storm. He has resided in the Silicon Valley since
the early 1990s working in semiconductors, hard drive media, and vacuum chamber
systems in positions from process engineer to Chief Operating Officer and CEO.
He draws on his family, friendships and experiences for his writing. He
currently resides in California with his wife and son.” Luke Marusiak is the author of Loud
and Clear, and Marx & Ford.
According to the book description
of Loud
and Clear, “Hank Rudzinski always wanted to be a hero. He finds Amy, a
partner in his quest, and joins the Army. From Pennsylvania to West Germany;
from a Georgia Army Post to a Mississippi Air Force Base; from an Infantry
Division in Missouri to the deserts of Iraq in 1991- they realize that heroes
are made of something different than rank or medals. They also discover that
great causes bring out the best but also the very worst of people. This novel
pulls aside the curtain to reveal the grandeur and grittiness of such pursuits.
It is also a novel of love and hate; highlighting the lifelong permanence of
soul searing choices.”
