Columbus Cody III.  is a devoted Christian, a husband, a father, a teacher, the creator of The Living The Life Show on YouTube, and the author of Recap and Too Many Toys In The Tub.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois but I had the opportunity to grow up in numerous places throughout the United States (Mississippi, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Tennessee).  Living in so many places exposed me to many different cultures which made me a much more well-rounded person with a genuine love for people.

I joined the US Navy immediately after graduating high school.  My military service helped to mold and shape me into a man of discipline and honor.  After being honorably discharged I earned a Bachelors degree in Health and Physical Education from Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee.  

After graduation, I began teaching Physical Education and Lifetime Wellness and coaching Girls Basketball and Volleyball (one of the reasons I have no hair) in the Metro Nashville Public School District.  For the past 15 years I’ve continued to strive to engage the minds of the young people that enter my classroom each day.  Some days I feel more successful than others.

My greatest joys are spending time with my family and serving in my church.  I have two sons and a wonderful wife.  I have the opportunity to teach Sunday School at my church each Sunday and this is one of my greatest passions!  I love God and I love teaching the people of God about the things of God.

I have written and published two books.  My first book, Recap, is a book that was written to help others experience the same excitement that I have for the Bible.  Many people won’t read or stop reading the Bible because they say that it’s too difficult.  The reason I wrote Recap is to show my readers just how interesting and fun the Bible really is.  My second book, Too Many Toys In The Tub, was inspired by my two fun loving sons.  Every night, bath time becomes an adventure.  I never know which toy(s) will make an appearance and become part of the next adventure.  This book makes my boys smile and laugh.  I’m certain it will be a hit in many homes that are experiencing the same bath time adventures.

My desire is to talk to as many people as possible about Jesus and His saving grace.  God has given me a gift to teach His Words in such a way that they make sense to others and they can see how they can apply His Words to their daily lives.  I intend to use that gift to lead as many people to Christ as possible.
