Words, Stories & Ideas

My words have appeared in newspapers, magazines, websites, and now in books. I draw from experiences with billionaires, gang members, pastors, the homeless, movie stars, shamans, entrepreneurs, and everyday folks. Everyone has a story. I’ve always enjoyed discovering those stories and passing them along—sometimes with a healthy dose of my imagination.

In advertising and media, I’ve written countless ads and developed marketing and advertising campaigns for a wide variety of businesses and organizations. Over the years, I’ve done this for many different audiences and purposes, from compelling advertising copy to articles, stories, and books.

My latest book, A DOLLAR AND TWO QUARTERS, explores timeless lessons about money, business, perseverance, and opportunity.

A Dollar and Two Quarters

Timeless Lessons in Money, Business, and Building a Lasting Legacy

What would you do if all you had was a dollar and two quarters?

At the beginning of the twentieth century, William and Charles were hardworking men earning $15 a week at a small sawmill in the mountains. They had not inherited wealth, had no influential connections or grand business plan. They did have families to support, bills to pay, and dreams beyond their reach.

Henry Mason was a successful businessman who saw what no one else saw in these two men—potential.

A Dollar and Two Quarters is an inspiring story about entrepreneurship, money, perseverance, opportunity, and the quiet power of small decisions made consistently over time.

Along with articles, advertising, and books, I've written poetry and other pieces simply because I wanted to tell a story, explore an idea, or capture a moment.
