About the Author

Kenny Vaughan is a husband, a father of three, a world-class athlete, and a servant of Jesus Christ. Over the years, he has been featured in a number of interviews with national media, inspiring tens of thousands across the country.
Growing up, Kenny learned to waterski, to hunt and fish, to understand God's perfect love, and to honor God, country, and family. For fifteen years, he chased his dream of winning the national waterski long-jump championship, and, bolstered by the scriptures scrawled on his ski tow-rope handles, he achieved his dream against all odds. Vaughan took the scriptures that inspired him that day and had them inscribed on dog tags. Kenny founded Shields of Strength, a company that distributes inspirational scripture engraved upon dog tags and other jewelry. The necklaces have become popular with professional and aspiring athletes--including Olympians, military personnel, law enforcement, students, and adults from all walks of life who find encouragement in scripture to face life's challenges.
Vaughan's first book, Shields of Strength: One Man's Victory over Fear and What It Has Meant for America, was published in 2010 by Brown Books. The Right Fight: How to Live a Loving Life turns its focus to fear's polar opposite: pure, unselfish love for others.
Kenny Vaughan lives in Southeast Texas, near Beaumont, with Tammie, the love of his life, and their three children.
