Welcome to my blog site.
I’m a 30-year newspaper veteran and magazine journalist, who has published 3 books. I live, love, and breathe mass communication.
I build my life around these four things:
- My Love (family)
- My Mission (the Great Commission which is really just loving people)
- My Passion (hospitality, and cooking good food)
- My Gift (articulating ideas and stories through the written word to make life better)
I’m a survivor of a 3-year chronic depression, reclaimed my life on a 500-mile pilgrimage where I promised never again to live the life of a hypocrite, love world travel, great barbecue, cold beer, and try more than ever to enjoy the joy and peace in life.
In 2020, I founded Tranquility Base Retreat Center for Writers and Thinkers in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.
