I am a committed follower of Jesus Christ, a husband, father, author, teacher and speaker on mission to help people live courageously from their hearts. God has changed my life in ways I can’t describe. I am am no longer living for myself, I have been incredibly blessed, life is good, and I’m thankful that God cared enough to walk it out with me.

Site Colophon
My site is built on WordPress 6.x (self-hosted) and the Genesis 3.x Framework. My theme is a customized version of the Altitude Pro Theme by StudioPress, a mobile responsive theme completely HTML 5 and CSS3 compliant. I customized it all myself with lots of trial and error and many late nights, but learned much and had a blast in the process!
In terms of design, I use the Ek Mukta Google font. I get most of the photos for my individual articles from various sources that have images available as “labeled for commercial reuse” and some are taken by myself or others I know.
My site is hosted by Corporate Communication Solutions. My advertising is handled by AvantLink and Google Ad Sense.
