I always loved writing and telling stories, even as a kid.

In 2003, I started pursuing writing more seriously. I took a writing class, read writing books, read books in my target genres, went to writing conferences, and tried applying everything I learned to my own writing. I discovered what writer’s block is, and I wrote manuscripts that will never be publishing while I live and hopefully not published after, at least not without a bunch of genius editing. I hoped to get published and to start a writing career.

​

However, God had other plans for my journey and I ended up teaching at a Christian school. The work and hours were such that I wasn’t really able to write often, but it was a much needed break.

This change in pace really set the tone for my understanding of the arts and my purpose in writing. I began to consider what it meant for Christ to be King and Lord over all things, including writing, and to study what having a biblical, God-centered worldview is and how it can be applied to all areas of life.

During my teaching years and the two years after, I spent a lot of time thinking about art, the writing process, our culture, and God’s relationship to each.

​

That leads us to now.

My aim is to write the kinds of stories that are interesting, memorable, creative, and thought-provoking, but especially that will encourage good morals, highlight good character, and point readers back to God and the kind of life God has designed us to live.

Enjoy!
