James Patrick RooneyJames Patrick Rooney was born in the Bronx and, after suffering a spinal cord injury (paraplegia) at nineteen while at Providence College, migrated south to the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, and earned a business management and economcs degree. Settling in Jupiter, Florida, he began a career in financial services and started his exceptional family. After four decades at Merrill Lynch as first vice president and senior wealth management advisor in the Palm Beach market, Rooney published his first novel, Sitting on a Rainbow: A 21st Century Irish American Morality Tale, a mix of memoir, fiction and blarney.
