Gateway to the World

By Andrew Sferra

Sailing the "Seven Seas," and crossing the Arctic Circle. A deadly rescue attempt in fifty to one-hundred foot swells. Floating up the Saigon River during the throes of Vietnam, surviving repeated and brutal attacks from rockets and gunfire. Being interrogated as a spy in Cold War Berlin. Playing in the big leagues in the NY Stock Exchange. Rubbing elbows with actors, presidents, celebrities and elites from all over the world. Building an amazing family and leaving a legacy.

It may sound like the wish-list of a well-loved literary character named "Walter." But this is just a sampling of the life of a real-life adventurer and liver of life, Andrew Sferra. Whether it's his absurdly funny and endearing childhood in Yonkers, an ambitious career in structural, electrical, or nuclear engineering, or his harrowing experiences in wartime, you'll find there's something for everyone in this unique take on the idea of a memoir.

A collection of memories, of course. An autobiography, definitely. But with a life spanning over a half-century with suspense, intrigue, and wonder, Andrew has amassed a great amount of not only adventure tales, but valuable, funny, and poignant life-lessons. Journey with him as he takes you through what he calls "The Gateway to the World." But hold on tight. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
