| Location | Boulder, CO, United States |
| Introduction | I am a motivational speaker, writer, and humorist. My passion is writing and speaking about those misfits who, like myself, wander the fringes of conventionality, either by choice, or because life seemingly assigns them there. My first novel, STRAYS, is an irreverent and bumpy ride that explores the great moral dilemma of forgiveness, questioning just who can be forgiven, and when doors are seemingly closed, how far is too far to go when searching for a way back inside. I have a BBA in Computer Information Systems from Georgia State University and I'm also a graduate of the Candler School of Theology at Emory University where I received a Master of Divinity. |
