| Introduction | I was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and was raised in the middle of the state on a small family farm. I’ve lived in six states and and a few countries. I speak three languages, passingly (English, German and French). I’m married to my French pen-pal and best friend. I’m the father of two boys, 13 and 9. I’ve had many professions (farmhand; Army surveyor, engineer & forward observer; cook; maintenance man; janitor; carpenter; newspaper reporter; obituary writer, proofreader, handyman and bookseller), but only two callings (seeker of Truth and writer/reader). I’m a neatness freak. I am an inline skater of the skate park variety. I’ve done a lot of things that people call adventurous and which I call fun. This writing blog is my way of keeping myself writing, and of holding myself accountable. I started it in order to make sure that I would keep working on my first book. I’ve published three books since beginning this blog: Portrait of a Seeker (2011), A Handyman’s Common Sense Guide to Spiritual Seeking (2013) and Ben and the Dragon (2013). My upcoming collection of short stories, Situations of I, is slated to be sent to the printer Spring 2014. |
