Author bio

Pushing into my late 50's, my career has given me lots of opportunities to write persuasion and instruction, but it's time to dust off my youthful desire to write fiction. I live in western Oregon with my wife and youngest daughter. We have 5 kids and 8 grandkids. I plan to hike, write, and adventure. But really I just work for a living and fix things on my days off. I am a faithful Christian. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
