Nachdem der Autor im Mittleren Westen aufgewachsen war, fand er seine wahre Berufung inmitten der majestätischen Berge und klaren Flüsse des Westens. Seine Schriften, die oft von westlichen Themen durchdrungen sind, befassen sich mit dem schwer fassbaren und fesselnden Wesen der Region. Beeinflusst durch seine journalistische Ausbildung und eine Familiengeschichte im Zimmerhandwerk, ist sein Ansatz zum Erzählen sowohl fundiert als auch eindrucksvoll. Er konzentriert sich nun auf Belletristik und kreative Sachbücher und versucht, die rohe Schönheit und das tiefe Versprechen der westlichen Landschaft einzufangen.
