What I Do
I have a passion for great writing. Excellence is one of my most cherished core values.
The exquisite beauty of a powerful idea expressed in words, whether through a single sentence or a 700-page novel, is something that has stirred my soul since as long as I can remember.
So . . . What I do: I search out transformational ideas and stories and bring them to life in words.

If You Want to Change the World …
One of my favorite speeches: The commander of U.S. Special Operations Command explains why changing the world starts with making your bed in the morning.
