I was born and raised just west of Indianapolis. I grew up playing sports and creating make-believe worlds in my backyard.

At age 11, I played my first round of golf and I dreamed of becoming a professional golfer, and that sort of came true.

I went to college in Ohio and then studied graduate level theology for a year in Texas. In Texas I fell in love with writing and storytelling.

I hope all of my stories challenge and excite my readers, but most of all I hope they give them a glimpse of hope.

It sounds weird to say that you write to deal with writer's block, but sitting down at the desk and writing can free me up. Sometimes the flow of words is slow, but it can be like the first rocks tumbling in an avalanche.

I think that writer's block comes from an empty storehouse of ideas. If I'm not stocking that storehouse everyday, then I'm going to run out of ideas. But if I pay attention to people or take part in activities, I should have more than enough raw material to use when I sit down at the desk at night.(less)

My Gypsy Summer with The Lifeline Players

In my senior year of college, I had the privilege of traveling with a six member drama team from our school called The Lifeline Players. We were like the Grateful Dead without the tie-dye, hemp, pot, lack of showers, entourage, and live music...okay, so we weren't like the Dead, but we did travel across the country. We performed in churches and schools. What a long, strange trip it was.
