Raised by a single mother in the Florida panhandle, Keith Gross is the definition of an American success story. He worked his way through school, served in the National Guard, and returned home to Florida after earning his law degree.
Yet his humble beginnings and accelerated achievements tell more than a ‘rags to riches’ story. They are a testament to the power of the American Dream, a dream he believes must be restored and defended.
In Dirt Roads to Runways, Keith shares his experiences living the American Dream. He also provides insights into the current state of America and a strong vision for instilling new hope and moxie into today’s generations and beyond.
More than an entertaining read, Dirt Roads to Runways will leave you with a sense of optimism, inspiration, and new energy to fuel your own contributions to the fabric of American life.

Giới thiệu về tác giả
Keith Gross is many things: an entrepreneur, a pilot, an attorney, and a conservative activist. But there’s one thing he’ll never be: a career politician. Growing up in rural Florida shaped him into a man who understands and appreciates the American Dream and the principles of equality, liberty, and opportunity that have made this nation the greatest in the world. Because he has enjoyed them, he is determined to protect those values for generations to come. Now, Keith Gross is running for US Senate to disrupt the status quo in Washington. He’s conquered the business world through his never-quit attitude, and in the Senate, he’ll represent Florida with that same determination and grit. Because that’s what makes America great.
