If you're actually taking the time to read this, then you are probably one of three types of people: My mom, a friend/coworker who already knows me, or someone who's considering working with me.
For those of you in that last group, you’re probably also wondering what it is that you should know most about me.
Well, more than anything, it's my approach toward life. I believe Buddy the Elf put it best when he said, "I love smiling. Smiling's my favorite." I'm a pretty happy guy, and that impacts the work I do. If you don't believe me, just ask someone from one of the first two groups of people I mentioned earlier.
Long story short — I grew up in Utah. Started working in DC. Then moved to California. I bought a boat and lived there for a while. Had a brief stint in Thailand, as well as Australia. Met a girl, had some kids. Then bought a farm. Now I travel wherever the work takes me.
I believe it's called "work" for a reason. Creativity and writing gets better when you can speak from experience, and most people don't care about experiencing a cubicle. I am one of those people.
I could sit here and sell you more on my work, or I could let the work speak for itself. I'd rather get together anyway.
