About Jay:
In 2013, Jay Armstrong was diagnosed with diffuse cerebellar atrophy. An incurable brain disease that causes dysfunctional motor skills, speech and vision impairments, and balance deficiencies. At the time of diagnosis, he was establishing himself as an endeared high school English teacher, a varsity soccer coach, and an above average dancer. However, the progressive disease forced Jay to reevaluate his life.
Supported by his high school sweetheart turned wife and their three children, Jay retired from teaching in 2021 to pursue his dream of becoming an author.
Now an award-winning, bestselling author Jay believes in the power of storytelling. He also believes in dad jokes, laughter, hard work, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams.
Jay’s debut book, Bedtime Stories for the Living, is an episodic memoir in which Jay shows his children how to accept their limitations and find joy. The collection of tender, witty stories about fatherhood, persevering despite illness, and pursuing your dreams, demonstrates how love gives us the strength to face heartache with bravery, humor, and grace.
In 2023, Jay published his second book, Ordinary Hero, an insightful and witty memoir that shows how enduring adversities builds big character and how wisdom is waiting for us in the pearls of our daily routines.
Jay is also passionate about Philly sports, soft pretzels, and Rocky Balboa.
