Author bio

I was a youth minister for a very long time, 15 years, and turned storyteller with an insurance habit. I co-host a podcast with my amazing wife Cathy C. called "The Patron Saints Of Pop-Culture". We over-analyze pop culture so that you don't have to. I've written two books "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "The Story of Esperanza Reyes". I am currently working on a few novel ideas hoping to be done with the first draft of one of those by mid 2019. For up to date writings and our current podcasts check out our website.
