The youngest of ten children, Rudy Simmons was born in 1957 in Deer Lake, Newfoundland, Canada.

After a troubled childhood stamped by poverty and neglect, he attended vocational school for heavy equipment repair, after which he founded R&J Excavation Ltd.

Feeling the call to full-time ministry a few years later, he pastored two churches, then became a street chaplain in Halifax, Nova Scotia. After experiencing burnout and hospitalization, in 1990 he started over by building Simmons Tractor Limited into the successful business he still owns today.

Now retired, Rudy and his wife, Glad, of twenty-nine years, split their time between Grand Lake Wellington, Nova Scotia, and Florida.

“The odds were stacked against me from the start. Raised in poverty with a father who rejected his children, my teachers and the police were convinced I had no future and would wind up in prison. As I battled addiction and depression and dabbled with crime, all the while haunted by defeat, my path seemed set. But God had other plans, and over time, he turned every stumbling block that had been thrown my way into a stepping stone toward success.

I wrote "Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones� in the hopes that sharing my story may be able to help others find meaning and impact in their lives.

I know that a lot of people out there are struggling, much like I was for many years. As I shared in the book, my mission is to help show people that those struggles aren’t blocking the path, they are the path to prosperity. The terrible things in life aren’t happening to you, they are happening for you, and there is always a greater power there to lift you above it.”
