I'm an author, journalist, and speaker. True story is my thing. Narrative nonfiction and radio are my passions. The newest of my five books is a memoir called The Long Awakening.

Besides finding and telling print and radio narratives, I speak and do storytelling consulting and editing, so if I can help you with an event you're planning or a creative storytelling project you're making let's connect.

A short work break outside. Isn't the sound of moving water soothing?
Not your average Monday. Oh not at all. Amazing day to get to greet the Vice President of the U.S. with my family, then tour Air Force 2. Up close and personal the uncommon experience, honor of the office, and military and secret service support and protocol is impressive. Very kind man. I'm proud of my son-in-law @Noah Ayers for serving, and @joconnorayers, and thankful for their friend for making today happen. Thank you Mr. #VPOTUS, #America, #USA, #familymemories, #grateful.

The proper way to suffer a cold. A good book, a good dog, an old quilt, a warm fire. #its7degrees #sick #cozy #selfcare

Some years Christmas is hard, some years it's magical, blessed beyond measure. I've had a few that were too painful for words, but this year was the joyful, memory-making kind. And I don't take a minute of it for granted. So long 2017. #notreadytotakemytreedown #thankful #gratefultoGod #lovemylife #family #wishmyhousealwaysglowed
