He has been able to re-brand himself from a former U.S. Air Force officer and Human Resources executive to an author and educator. His 20 novels, 2 prescriptive non-fiction works, and 9 screenplays since 2003, along with three popular workshops, “Re-Careering at Any Age,” "How to Write a Book and Get Published," and "How to Write a Screenplay" enjoy much success. Vianna has often been a guest on television and radio discussing strategies for re-careering at any age. He is affiliated with Publishers and Writers of San Diego, Read Local San Diego, Military Writers Society of America, National Veterans Transition Services Inc, International Doctoral Empowerment Academy, Society of Human Resources Management, and Society for the Advancement of Management.
