THE LIFE story of Dr. Delon Hampton, my friend and confidante, is truly inspirational and uplifting! In this book the reader will find a road map to success.

From his humble beginnings in Chicago, through the challenges of race and ethnicity in America, Dr. Hampton exemplifies the values of hard work and perseverance. He believes strongly that success is possible with self-determination, along with support from family, friends, and mentors.

I got to know Dr. Hampton in the late 1960s when he was a professor of engineering at Howard University in Washington, DC, while at the time I was beginning my career in government service and business in the nation’s capital. We have remained close friends, and I was most impressed when he viii a life constructed began his own engineering firm in the early 1970s. Again with grit, focus, determination, and a keen mind for business, Dr. Hampton created one of the most successful engineering firms in America. A leader in both national and international engineering associations and societies, Dr. Hampton has broken through many barriers in his field. And through forty years of directing his own firm, Dr. Hampton has built opportunities for numerous associates and employees, as well as the many others he has mentored.

A Life Constructed is a must-read for people of all generations. Dr. Delon Hampton’s life is not only an African-American success story but truly an American success story!
