I'm an author, musician, husband, dad, and X-grave digger. I've always enjoyed writing. I started keeping a daily journal when I was 13, and that started a pattern of regular writing that has continued to this day. 
 
My  first book, Giraffe Tracks, a memoir of my missionary experiences in South Africa, was published in 2010, and in July 2011, Cedar Fort published my book, Marriage is Ordained of God, but WHO Came Up with DATING?!

I've been also playing piano since 1994, and actively writing New Age piano compositions since 1996. I've long felt that the greatest factor in the influence of a piece of music is the intent of its author.I've also written numerous LDS Hymn arrangements, many of which are available in sheet music, including the favorite hymns, If You Could Hie to Kolob and Come Thou Fount.
 
So far, I've got 4 albums out:
 
Tune My Heart, Released 2012
Anthem of Hope, 2010
The Ancestor, 2009
Dayspring, 2007
 
While music and writing are my most time-consuming hobbies, I also enjoy gardening, inventing games, and most of all, spending time with my beautiful wife and adorable little kids.
