From the days of writing science fiction plays in fourth grade to earning a master’s degree in English and Creative Writing, words have always been at the center of my life. I’m a word guy. I love the power words have to move people, and I’m passionate about partnering with others to bring their writing projects to life and help them make a meaningful impact on the world.Here are some of the books I have authored myself, as well as those I have had the privilege of partnering on.
One question I hear often from fellow believers is this: “Is it okay to be ambitious?” Is it wrong to desire financial success, peak physical fitness, big goals, or meaningful influence? Many who ask want to excel as a head football coach, top salesperson, Fortune 500 entrepreneur, or social media influencer.
Should they feel guilty?
My answer is simple: there is sinful ambition, and there is holy ambition. We can chase success out of ego and a desire for recognition and possessions. Or we can cultivate what I call sacred drive, a righteous motivation to pursue our God-given potential for His glory and the good of others.

“The front door opened and as she walked in I swear there was a rush of wind and a couple of red and orange leaves cartwheeled in front of her, like giddy children running the street in a homecoming parade. She wore a cream colored sleeveless mock turtleneck, a short, grey and red plaid skirt, and had black shoes, the kind I call ‘witch shoes.’ She had long black hair with the sheen of a vinyl record. Her face was friendly and her eyes dark and lovely. The sunbeams from outside reflected in the corners of her pupils in the shape of little shining bells. Her smile was so brilliant, her teeth well ordered, like fresh linens nicely stacked in a hotel closet. But the crowning glory of this woman was her lips. My friend Jeff always used to call nice, full lips jalapeños, and nothing else could better describe the Pretty Latina Girl’s most impressive feature. Bonita! A girl like that deserved more than the conventional ‘Hi, I’m Adam. There’s a new John Cusack movie out this Friday. Care to join me?’ Somehow that seemed beneath her dignity—like giving the Blessed Virgin a chest bump.”
—from The Pretty Latina Girl and Adam Jones
In this charming short story, kind and quirky Adam Jones is captivated by a beautiful Latina he sees in a coffee shop, but complicates the process of asking her out to comical extremes. With the support of his best friends Nick and Splenda, he pursues a convoluted strategy to win the heart of this unattainable goddess; but in the end, a startling act of sacrificial love opens his heart and mind to a simple truth he should have embraced long ago.
Honesty. Vulnerability. Humor. These are just a few of the values that shape a strong leader. But above all of these is compassion. Putting compassion for people first is essential to becoming someone truly worth following.
Big-Hearted Leadership explores why compassion goes hand in hand with competence and how it influences every aspect of leadership. It shows how compassion flows into each decision a leader makes—from organizational structure and human resources to production and, ultimately, the organization’s bottom line.
The belief behind this series is simple. If you can reach someone at the very beginning of their life, before their values are fully formed, you have the opportunity to make a profound and lasting difference. That conviction is what inspired the creation of this book series.Otis & Charley’s Hardworking Tails is designed to give parents a practical tool for teaching children the principles they need to succeed, shared in a way that is engaging, relatable, and easy to understand at a young age.
Each book in the series focuses on a unique lesson, helping families instill strong values and a healthy work ethic that can grow with their children over time.
We are living in a turbulent, tech-heavy age. The pressure to scale is constant, and the noise never stops. I work with founders, CEOs, and high-capacity leaders who want to grow their organizations without losing themselves in the process. Through writing, speaking, and leadership development, I help you strengthen your inner architecture so you can remain grounded, clear, and fully human while carrying serious responsibility.
I help high-achieving women and men master confidence, overcome anxiety, and reclaim clarity—so they can build lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. This isn’t about hype, hustle, or fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about deep, honest transformation. Through meaningful conversation, personalized strategy, and grounded support, I help you let go of what’s weighing you down and step into the life you were always meant to live—whole, confident, and fully alive.
