Buck BuchananFirst and Thirty was Buck's first published book. He felt compelled to write the story about this unique experience in his life. He got the idea to from the last high school reunion he attended where fellow alumina were reminiscing about how their tie in high differed from the average high school experience. He was next encouraged to write a book by a freelance consultant who after hearing Buck speak at a sales meeting told him he should write a book and share his sales experience. He was inspired to give writing a try. So in the spring of 2014 the writing of First and Thirty began. Maybe the sales book is next. Carlton "Buck" Buchanan was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
