Also known as: RedneckGranola
My first award-winning story was written in 4th Grade and was entitled, “The human bean.†It wasn’t a play on words. I thought I was writing a profound piece about the human condition, when instead it turned out to be a mutant story about a human/legume crossbreed. I still can’t spell. Today I am still caught up in exploring and describing the human condition. Having spent thirteen years working for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on college campuses and eight part-time years as a professional writer, author and blogger, I am now writing full time. My first book, Tainted Love: God, Sex and Relationships for the Not-so-pure-at-heart was published in 2002 by InterVarsity Press, and I am now working on two separate novels: Gris-Gris Daughter and Fist Full of Reefer. My lovely wife and I adopted our first child, Cato, from Vietnam in December of 2008, and we have another coming along soon through more traditional means. With the unique perspective of having been born and raised on a cattle ranch in Texas, and then attending University in Missoula, Montana I have become, among other things, a redneck granola. Accordingly, I enjoy home wine making, earthen construction, gardening, ranching and farming, social justice, camping, ultimate Frisbee and promoting the value of industrial hemp whenever possible.
