Inside every kid in Dayton, Ohio, lives a spirit passed down from generations of tinkerers . . .

When young Tink sets sail on his hand-crafted boat, bad weather leaves him stranded in Dayton, Ohio, an exciting town home to many tinkerers. But Tink isn't left wandering for long--he meets new friends who teach him the history of the town, encourage him to embrace his love of tinkering, and remind him to never give up. As he learns about the amazing inventions and developments from characters like the Wright brothers and Charles Kettering, Tink realizes what it is that makes Dayton special--its unique spirit of perseverance, innovation, and ambition.

From poetry to airplanes to motor cars, Tink's journey through the city shows him that anything is possible with imagination and determination. A beautiful tribute to the city of Dayton, Shane Connor's Tinkertown, U.S.A. showcases the power of talented minds and reminds us that we, too, can create change and bring our greatest dreams to life.

Shane Connor feels fortunate to have lived the advice of Wilbur Wright: "If I were giving a young man advice as to how he might succeed in life, I would say to him, 'pick out a good father and mother, and begin life in Ohio.'"

In 2018, Shane left Austin, Texas, and returned home to Dayton, where he lives with his wife and four children. Shane cares deeply about the people and community of Dayton, Ohio--the greatest city in the nation.

A graduate of The Ohio State University, Shane is the founder and managing partner of a Dayton-based investment firm that invests in small- to medium-sized public and private companies.
