About The Author

Stanley Louis Klos (born January 18, 1954) is a historian, author, entrepreneur, and former Italian basketball player. Klos was the United States Senate Republican Nominee who challenged Robert C. Byrd in 1994.  He currently resides in Florida with his eight children. 

Stan began acquiring and researching historic documents in 1983 upon discovering the 18^th Century shipping records of Philadelphia Shipping merchant John Imlay in the attic of his home.  Since then, Stan has written numerous publications and assembled exhibits that have headlined a plethora of universities, national historic sites, libraries, museums and special events.  He has keynoted numerous historical events including the Franklin D. Roosevelt American Heritage Center Museum Grand Opening and entombment of Martha and U.S. President Samuel Huntington.  His work and publications have appeared in hundreds of print and digital publications including U.S. News & World Report 2006 cover story, “Washington? Get In Line" and the Discovery Channel’s “Unsolved History: Plots To Kill Lincoln.”

Stan is a co-founder of various historic pursuits including the James Monroe Birthplace Commission and Dinosaur Safaris, Inc., in Shell, Wyoming.  He was the Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate in 1994 campaigning as a "sacrificial lamb" against Robert C. Byrd as part of the GOP’s strategy to capture a majority in the U.S. Senate. The strategy was successful as Byrd (D), although elected 69% to 31%, spent $1,550,354 to Klos' $267,165 while the GOP captured 52 out of the 100 seats.  As a State Treasurer GOP Nominee Stan uncovered a system to circumvent the West Virginia State Constitution's ban on investing State funds into equities during his campaign.  Klos challenged the legality of the “West Virginia Trust Fund” which was declared unconstitutional by the West Virginia Supreme Court.  The following year he backed an amendment to the State Constitution allowing equity investments that passed by a 71 to 29% margin.  

Stan is a real estate historic preservationist who has acquired, preserved and profitably re-developed 32 historically significant properties ranging from Vaudeville theaters to Revolutionary War Taverns in four states.  As a real estate entrepreneur he acquired the RE/MAX of Pennsylvania n/w sub-franchise, expertly managing a marketing mix increasing yearly commission revenue from $240K to $36 million in twelve years.  He was one of a select group of Regional Owners who masterminded (1987 – 1999), RE/MAX’s expansion into the world’s largest real estate entity.  Stan also established an innovative Internet e-education company, Virtualology.com, in 1999 with page views topping 70,000 per day by its 4^th year.

Stan was a professional basketball player for Amaro Harrys of the Italian Basketball Association competing out of Bologna.  He was also the captain of the United States Basketball Team, which participated in European International Tournaments in 1978.  Klos has a BA in American Studies, BS in Zoology, MA in Rhetorical Theory and an ABD in Communications and Marketing attending St. Peter’s College, Idaho State University and Pennsylvania State University.
