How I started as an author
Writing. Is. Therapy.
I love being outdoors, and found archery and hunting as a great outlet to not just enjoy the outdoors, but to reset and relax the mind. But writing connects me to my inner creative better than anything.
I started writing as a form of therapy and creative expression. I quickly realized that writing my a form of therapy and I didn’t even know it.
It fought my anxiety, my depression, and much more. So I never quit.
My first book: Hear These Truths…released in June 2022 and I haven’t looked back since.
Now I have a thriller series in production, a popular podcast highlighting veterans, veteran authors, and fiction authors that are blowing up the industry and paving new roads.
Therapy.
For veterans, nothing is more important than finding outlets to release stress, tension, and deal with the rigors of military service. Post service is the hardest fight. That’s why I support programs that get veterans outdoors like Warrior Bonfire Program, and The Reason Outdoors.
