Introduction	My bio includes stuff like: Professional Rodeo. Youth Pastor. Church Founder. Columnist. Catastrophe Adjuster. Business Owner. Author. But really, I’ve been a pro mistake-maker. Bucked off more horses than ridden, out of more marriages than entered and quit more jobs than started. I spent my youth around St. Peter, MN, claiming I could teach anyone how to water ski. Quit Bible College to fix my parent’s marriage. I couldn't. Ended up driving truck for Coke and playing cowboy. Married a rodeo girl. Had four awesome kids, found the moral compass I’d lost, helped pioneer a church, became youth pastor and business owner. Life was great...until it wasn't. After twelve years...divorce. I was broken. Staggered through two marriages long enough for the ink to dry and fell into a catastrophe adjuster job that suited my restless soul. Little did I know, years of helping folks through their disasters, helped me through mine. Healed enough to love again—this time it stuck. Around fifty, I did some soul searching and yielded to a buried passion—writing. After a half century of getting bucked off life, I accepted my calling and realized it’d been there all along.
