The Start of Something Big
This is a book Ana and I have been dreaming of writing for 17 years. It is our love letter to the world.

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.

What Does It All Add Up To?
8-27-14 | The task of writing a book sometimes feels so overwhelming that I could see it tipping me over the edge into despair. What keeps me sane and gets me through it is a belief I have. It may sound weird, but it is the singular faith that pulls me through every difficult stretch and dark time in the writing process: To me, the finished story already exists.
Share a Little Light
8-19-14 | I have a formal job description as husband: it is my professional responsibility to make my wife laugh. It is a duty I take very seriously.
