Bob Delaney - A Remarkable Story Of Undercover In The Mafia, NBA Refereeing & Help Healing From Trauma

Bob Delaney has lived an extraordinary life! From undercover police work to infiltrate the New Jersey mafia crime families, to becoming an NBA referee for over 25 years, then a published author of multiple books and an expert & advocate on the effects & treatments of trauma, only begins to scratch the surface of this interesting man! We'll talk about how his law enforcement career began with the New Jersey State Police and led to the undercover operation where he became immersed in the Mafia. The stress of living every day knowing a single mistake would cost him his life is what led him to a passion to understand what happens to us under extreme trauma, and how to create awareness of this dangerous condition and most importantly, how to heal from it. Bob is internationally recognized for his deep understanding of PTS and its often unrecognized toll. Of course, we also talk about how Bob, after retiring from law enforcement, turned his love of basketball into a second career as an NBA referee! For 25 years, Bob became one of the most respected referees in the sport! We'll talk about what it is like to take on the stares & wrath of Michael Jordan, Shaq, Bryant, Bird, just to name a few, when they didn't like the call! Those guys didn't have a chance to intimidate him after living undercover with the mafia all those years! Oh, the stories he can tell! And we'll discuss his strong passion and his latest book, "Hero's Are Human: Lessons In Resilience, Courage and Wisdom From The Front Lines." Here, Bob honors the front line health care workers, with powerful stories and struggles through the pandemic. The book is currently available wherever books are sold, and there is an event at the Plaza Arts Center in Eatonton, where he will dedicate the book to the front line hospital workers. Bob, in his typical spirit of giving, has worked out with his support team, for every hospital worker in the Lake Country to receive a free copy of the book!
