Grief changes a person.

I lost my beautiful mom to colon cancer in 2022. She fought an almost decade-long battle with it, which was nearly half of my life. I watched her fight with a fierceness that could rival a lion. Her strength carried her for ten wonderful years, which my entire family and I were tremendously blessed with.

When she passed away, though, everything changed for me. I realized life was not guaranteed. I began to see how I had been exchanging my time for a steady income and a safe career. However, when I looked back at how my mom lived, I saw how she was most alive and fulfilled when helping others. When she sacrificed her wants and desires and supported someone else, she would beam brighter than the sun. It was apparent her job wasn’t what filled her with purpose. It was participating in the heart of God – Abba, which is goodness, kindness, selflessness, and love. 

At the end of 2022, I decided to learn from how my mom lived and pursue what filled me with purpose: writing. I write stories and compose songs that bring my novels to life and, on a grand scale, move people, share my heart, and relate to others.  

So, this is me—a man who seeks simplicity in life so that he can live extravagantly, not in material things but spiritually. I sincerely hope you’ll take the time to read one of my novels or listen to my music. I believe they best reveal who I am.
