Storytelling is a way of life for me, which is why I love helping others unleash their Inner Storyteller. But here's my story told in bullet form:

• 2007: Graduated with a degree in English Literature, but because "writing isn't a real job," I became a social worker instead, working with children in foster care.

• 2010: Married my wife Christa and we bought our first business together (this is not marriage or business advice).

• 2014: Became a dad (huzzah!) and left social work for the world of SaaS sales. (meh.)

• 2016: Started a sales business that ended up nearly destroying my life. (True story.) But it was also the wakeup call I needed to realize that I wanted to figure out how to earn a living by writing.

• 2017: Did crappy copywriting work on freelance platforms and learned how to edit and publish.

• 2018: Helped two coworkers self-publish their books. (yay!) And also got paid to write a movie that never got made. (womp-womp...)

• 2019: Helped a group of Georgetown University grad students develop their manuscripts.

• 2020: Started ghostwriting for CEOs and founders...and discovered how fun it was.

• 2022: Became a dad again (huzzah!) and became a full-time ghostwriter and book coach. (huzzah again!)

• 2024: Published my own book Start With Story: How Great Storytellers Transform Ideas into Impact. 

• 2025: Nominated for the Andy Award for Business & Thought Leadership, the only ghostwriting/book coaching award in publishing.

• 2026: Launched a freelancer course (Word Up) and a book marketing app (ForWord.io)

I live in Dallas, TX with my amazing family. When I'm not writing, you can find me watching too many movies, training for a half-marathon, and traveling (probably somewhere Disney related).
