Thank you for coming! I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I grew up romping around the fields of my country home in a small town in northern Utah. At an early age, I started working on egg and dairy farms, moved pipe, hauled hay, and fed cows. My growing-up years were filled with mountains, adventure, and priceless life lessons, which I am forever grateful. Kind and wonderful parents taught me the worth of a solid handshake, the true meaning of freedom, and that God is a loving Father. I was taught by example the value of hard work, that you can't quit when you're tired, and to pull through when it feels like you have nothing left to give. I share this, not because I have lived a perfect life, for I haven't. Yes, I've tried hard and worked hard... and at times succeeded and at times failed. Despite this, life has been what it has needed to be. God has been patient and forgiving, and for that I am very grateful. Now days, I am a husband and father, an engineer, and an author. I still enjoy having adventures in the mountains, lakes, and rivers with my family, and find joy and peace in the outdoors. My wife Heather and I raised our family on the classics and love a good story. Some of our favorite memories include a great book and little listening ears. Our hope is to write stories that lift and inspire, promoting light over darkness and faith over fear. Being parents to three treasured kids is our greatest work and has brought meaning and depth to our own story. As our children were growing, often around the dinner table, I would hear, "Dad... can you tell us a story?" So, I started telling stories... Some from my childhood, some tall tales, and others just purely made up. It was a ton of fun. We laughed and treasured those moments. As a father, I am taking a stand in support of families and youth, seeking to promote values of virtue, strong character and integrity. It is my mission to write inspirational stories that lift and inspire in defense of God, Family and Freedom. The stories I share are woven together with threads of forgiveness, sacrifice, family unity, reliance on God, personal fortitude, and true freedom. My wife Heather and I are excited to share this journey with you!
