For more than 35 years, I’ve owned a company dedicated to helping individuals who are blind or visually impaired—especially those with low vision—stay independent through practical, accessible technology. I still work full‑time providing products, training, and lifetime support. I also own Fischer Publishing, where we produce custom large‑print calendars and publish the books I write.
My latest book, Navigating Life with Jesus, was designed to be simple, encouraging, and easy to read. Its chapters include:
- Life is Like an Empty Boat
- My Empty Boat
- A Note on Scripture and Purpose
- How Does Someone Become Born Again?
- Jesus is Your Spiritual Compass
- Born Again—1985
- A Calling Born from Compassion
- Faith, Business, and the Call to Serve
- The Bible
- The Enduring Power of the Bible
- Timeless Truths from the Teachings of Jesus

Each state‑specific edition ends with local contacts and resources so readers can take action immediately.
Whether you’re a caregiver, a family member, or simply someone who wants to help, this book series is a practical starting point—simple, easy to understand, and built on decades of experience helping older adults embrace technology with confidence.
