Nathan Whitaker’s life in sports has led to a career surrounded by famous sports figures. He’ll talk about his life in sports and his books written with sports icons like Tony Dungy and Tim Tebow at the Ponte Vedra Library’s Book Talk Café program on Monday, January 25 at 6:30 p.m.

A Gainesville attorney representing NFL and college coaches, Whitaker is also a bestselling author of sports biographies. He's written six books that have cracked the top ten of the New York Times Bestsellers list, including his first book, "Quiet Strength," co-authored with Tony Dungy, which became the second-best-selling hardcover sports autobiography ever, and has over two million copies in print.

His most recent book, "Snap Decision," is a middle-grade novel about friendship and honesty, and is set in North Florida.

Whitaker is a Gainesville attorney who played football and baseball at Duke University (football for Steve Spurrier).  He also has master's degrees from Harvard Law School and the University of Florida, and has worked in the scouting departments of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Book Talk Café is sponsored by the Friends of the Ponte Vedra Library, and offers light refreshments as well as the opportunity to purchase the author’s book. The presentation is free and open to the public.
