About
I am an author, adventurer, father, philosopher, philanthropist, athlete, gamer, U.S. chess champion, health nut, activist, and advocate for humanity, living in a quiet home with my wife, five daughters and one son in Wayland, Michigan. I’ve lived a life worth multiple lives and then some. I’ve trekked through tundras, waded through swamps, faced fire ants, wandered through deserts, swam in the Great Barrier Reef, explored a shipwreck, walked a runway, sat in prison, been in a mental hospital, adored and hated others, lost and gained a lot, fought wars in a courtroom, faced wars in my heart, and held loved ones in my arms as they breathed their last breath. I’ve braved storms of all kinds in life, and I have plenty more life to live as well…. I’m ready to write all about it. Care for a read?

What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The greatest challenge is dispelling the myth that AI is replacing human copywriters and content marketers, showing the value of strategic content marketing over time rather than immediate results. The opportunity lies in the pushback against AI slop, as companies realize they need real storytellers who use AI responsibly as a tool to maintain brand voice and differentiation.
