Biography

Bolger was born to Donald Bolger, an engineer with General Motors, and Loretta, a teacher. At the age of two, his family was involved in a near-fatal car accident caused by a drunk driver, this encouraging him to make the most out of his life. [http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=291613 The Harvard Crimson :: Magazine :: Battle of the Bolger ] ] In first grade, he was diagnosed with dyslexia. Special education programs did not help him, and in fourth grade, his mother began home-schooling Bolger, while undergoing a divorce.http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1995/09-27-95/news/kid.prodigy.pg3.html] At the age of 12, Bolger began taking classes at Muskegon Community College, graduating with an A.A. by the age of 17. He then transferred to the University of Michigan and graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 grade point average in sociology.

At the age of 20, he entered Yale Law School, but dropped out when he was unable to compensate for his dyslexia. After receiving additional training on his dyslexia, he enrolled at Oxford University, thus beginning his quest for degrees. He received his first doctorate from Harvard University in 2008. Six additional masters degrees or doctorates are in the process of completion. In addition to studying, Bolger was a teaching fellow at Harvard and teaches adjunct courses at the University of Phoenix.
