Joseph E. Dames, III also known by his nickname, Junior Man, was born in
Stuart, FL. Most of his youth was spent as a hard-headed, rebellious man-
child trying to navigate the urban streets of St. Petersburg, FL where he grew up.
At the age of seventeen, after a life-shattering event, that left him
standing before a Pinellas County judge who pronounced a sentence of
25 years to life, he was forced to let go of his youth and freedom.
While in prison, he, with the encouragement and support of others, dug his
way out of a pit of darkness and despair by seeking and gaining wisdom,
knowledge, and understanding that assisted in his transformation from
man-child to the successful business owner and entrepreneur he is today.
Now, while living a life of abundant grace and with a committed and
determined desire to help deter the neighborhood youth from traveling
the path of destruction he once traveled, Junior Man has a personal
mission to “save the children.”
The author uses his past mistakes to encourage others to think before making choices
and decisions that can alter their life. He transparently opens up about a tragic situation
that shifted the trajectory of his life, and shares how his experience being incarcerated
molded him into a better version of himself.
After reading this book, readers will feel more inclined to take accountability for their
actions, as well as how to embrace the person they were created to be. Collecting My
Thoughts will encourage you to also take inventory of your own thoughts so that you can
ultimately make decisions that benefit all of mankind.
