ABOUT

 Thanks for stopping by! I am a father, husband, and brother. I spend a good share of my working time as a nurse practitioner hospitalist providing care for patients in a small community hospital. This puts the coffee in the pot and keeps the roof over our heads. In between I read, write, travel, provide consult and counseling services, and mow the lawn.

​

Life has given me far more opportunities and open doors than I ever dreamed. God has granted me more blessings than I deserve. Throw in a few miracles here and there. I am eternally grateful for… everything. Life has been good.

​

I have been blessed (or cursed) with curiosity and diverse interests, hobbies, and careers, all influences that lurk around the edge of these pages. I started out in open pit mining, married a beautiful young woman, and did a five-year missionary stint in Eastern Europe. I came home and taught in a private school for a couple of years, drove heavy haul truck here and there, and finally, approaching middle age and sporting gray hairs, moved across the country, attended college, and obtained degrees in nursing science. During our missionary stint, we adopted three beautiful children who have been critical influencers and teachers on the road to who we are today.
