: About Me

I'm 45 years old and happily married to a woman who's way to good for me. I have two boys - 7 and 17 who are turning out great in spite of their less than perfect dad.

I eat too much, weigh too much, and sleep just about the right amount. I have more money, comfort and love than I deserve, and not enough time, trouble, or humility - but God's working on all that.

I'm blessed, saved by grace, and happy to be here. If it all ends tomorrow...well, actually I'm kind of looking forward to what comes next.

Oh yeah, and get a load of this: I give people advice for a living! If that ain't letting the fox in the hen house, I don't know what is!

My passion is ...

Acting and speaking

I know too much about ...

personal finance

My parents always told me ...

wear clean underwear every day

My childhood ambition ...

to be famous

My favorite memory ...

is mine, it would lose something if I shared it

Why I write ...

it's gotta come out

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Team of Rivals/The Office/David Crowder Band

My first job ...

dish washer

My best moment ...

broken and weeping the day I surrendered

My inspiration ...

Jesus
