Who I am
I’m an earthy man in search of the divine, and I find it everywhere, usually hiding in plain sight. I’m an observer, watching people and trying to figure out what they’re saying by their demeanor as much as by their words. And I’m enamored of words, written and spoken, and their power to build or destroy, incite or calm, woo or repel.
What I’ve done
I’ve done manual labor so greasy and dirty it became part of my fingerprint. I’ve done clean work, first as a minister and then as a paralegal researcher, and both of these became part of my fingerprint, too. And I write. I tell the stories that tell themselves to me. I think readers will come to recognize my fingerprint. It’ll be coarse and gritty at times and at times respectable and clean, and it will show the nicks of someone who grapples with what it means to be.
