Tio Stib loves exploring the frontiers of life. He has sailed wild oceans, climbed lofty mountains, and survived the tempests of tyrannical three-year olds. He has played architect, the banjo, and mildly successful entrepreneur. Since losing his sight late in life, Tio has turned to writing in hopes of provoking a chuckle and, perhaps, inspiring others to build their own better worlds. You can follow Tio Stib on his WordPress blog, “Travels with Tio, a blind man’s path to happiness.”
