My life started in one direction and spun in my 30’s. I grew up in the Mormon church and, when I was 19, served a mission in Johannesburg, South Africa. At 21 I married, and within a few years, we had three wonderful children.

My theology changed in my twenties, and I moved from Mormonism to agnosticism. I lost the respect of many of my peers and friends who I know will never be able to understand. A few years later, divorce flipped my life again. My book, Trudge On, Soul goes into all the dirty details about these struggles–recounted while riding a motorcycle through the Alaskan wilderness. In 2006, I married an incredible woman, Sandi, and our family enjoyed wonderful years as the kids became adults. I now have the most beautiful grandkids, and Sandi and I love spoiling them every chance we get. 

I have a Masters Degree in Accounting but most of my career has been focused in IT. I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, writing, camping, taking pictures, reading, rock climbing, riding dirt bikes, and playing video games.
