Byron Kirkwood is truly an entrepreneur, having started several businesses for himself and others--he loves to start new ventures. He is currently the owner and founder of B&A Products, a mail-order company specializing in products for spiritual advancement and emergency preparedness. This somewhat unusual combination is a result of his first book, Survival Guide for the New Millennium, and his wife Annie's best-selling book, Mary's Message to the World. Between them, Byron and Annie have authored six books.

His background is in electronics and microcomputers; he majored in electrical engineering and minored in computer science at the University of Texas at Arlington (between Dallas and Fort Worth). When he turned forty, he decided to get an advanced degree in business. In 1988 he graduated from Southern Methodist University with an Executive Master of Business Administration.

Byron and his wife, Annie, are both graduates of the Dale Carnegie course in public speaking. They live in northeastern Oklahoma, having previously lived in the Dallas area. They publish a bi-monthly newsletter, "Mary's Message/Newsletter." They are a blended family, having between them five sons. Byron's hobbies include amateur radio, emergency preparedness, gardening; and he is a volunteer fireman. He was previously a Life Boy Scout, is a member of the Order of the Arrow, and a reserve police officer.
