About the Author

If you know me, you know chaos. It follows me everywhere. Always has. Some say it comes from my stubbornness, distrust of authority, and uncanny ability to find myself in messy situations, often at my own making. Truth is, it’s in my blood. I have more Neanderthal DNA than 25% of customers from a certain ancestry service. My great grandfather was a bootlegger. Lord knows what happened in between. Rather than fight my nature, I adopted a code to live by. A motto for any decision.

Do it for the story.

If you want another cookie-cutter, assembly-line writer trying to upsell you products and services, I’m not your guy. No paywalls here, not in this economy. No classes, webinars, or programs where I offer to make you a better writer. You want to write better? Write. Then write some more. Sit back, don’t take life too seriously, and enjoy my perspective on American life.

Stay weird.
