About Me
After many years of running a small business, I’ve found a deeper sense of purpose in writing about the things that seem to matter most: connection, compassion, leadership, and the small, often-overlooked moments that quietly shape our lives. My books are grounded in real-world experience—whether it’s volunteering in a prison, leading stress management classes in a county jail, or sitting across the table from folks as a small claims court mediator, where simply listening with care can make all the difference.I’ve also worked as a certified hypnotist, and over the years I’ve worked with individuals looking to find calm, break old patterns, or navigate life’s challenges with a little more clarity. That same desire to help people find peace led me to teach guided meditation classes and start a podcast called Mind Journeys Guided Meditations. It offers free guided meditations and has reached listeners in more than 45 countries—just one small way I try to help people find a moment of stillness in a noisy world.When I’m not writing or teaching, I’m substitute teaching at a local high school, where I’m constantly reminded how much the next generation has to offer. Their energy, honesty, and resilience keep me on my toes and give me hope.I live in Iowa with my wife, Carol, and spend my time enjoying life with our kids and grandkids, playing classic rock in a local band, and occasionally teaching a class on artificial intelligence, stress management, or whatever topic someone’s curious to explore. I also created The Kindness Blog on Facebook, a space that’s grown into a global community of people committed to bringing more kindness into their everyday lives.For me, writing is a way to slow down and make sense of things—to sift through the noise, find what matters, and hopefully offer something useful to someone walking a similar path.
My Books
Here you’ll find the books I’ve written—each one rooted in reflection, everyday life, and the power of kindness. I write about how we can live with more compassion, lead with heart, and find calm in a noisy world. Whether it’s through personal stories, practical wisdom, or gentle encouragement, my goal is to help readers live with more meaning, connection, and grace.
The Kindness Plan is a gentle guide to making kindness a daily habit—one thoughtful step at a time. Through real-life stories, simple practices, and heartfelt reflection, this book invites you to bring more compassion into your life and the lives of those around you. Whether you're looking to strengthen relationships, ease stress, or make the world a little better, The Kindness Plan offers a practical roadmap for living with more empathy, connection, and joy. It’s not about grand gestures—it’s about showing up with kindness, every day.
The Power of Kind Leadership challenges the outdated idea that strength and kindness can’t coexist. With real-world insights and practical tools, this book shows how leaders who lead with empathy, respect, and integrity don’t just create healthier workplaces—they inspire better results. Drawing on stories from business, community work, and personal experience, it offers a fresh take on what it means to be effective, trusted, and truly influential. Whether you’re leading a team, a classroom, or a community, this book will help you harness the quiet strength of kindness to lead with courage and purpose.
What the Day Leaves Behind is a quiet collection of reflections on the beauty, mystery, and meaning found in everyday life. From a walk through the neighborhood to a moment of stillness in a waiting room, each short piece invites the reader to pause, notice, and reflect. With warmth, honesty, and a gentle sense of wonder, the book explores how even ordinary moments can leave behind something lasting—insight, connection, or simply a deeper breath. It’s a companion for anyone seeking calm in a noisy world and meaning in the seemingly mundane.
The Gemeinschaft Way explores what happens when we shift from a life of isolation and competition to one rooted in connection, community, and emotional well-being. Drawing on the old German concept of Gemeinschaft—a way of living that values deep relationships and shared purpose—this book invites readers, especially men, to rethink success, identity, and what it means to truly belong. With personal stories, cultural insights, and practical guidance, it offers a fresh path forward: one where kindness, vulnerability, and community aren’t signs of weakness, but sources of strength.
Finding Calm In The Political Chaos is a practical, no-nonsense guide for staying grounded when the political world feels overwhelming. In an age of constant outrage, division, and noise, this book offers tools to protect your peace of mind without tuning out completely. Through thoughtful reflection, relatable stories, and simple strategies, it helps readers navigate political stress, engage with clarity, and stay connected to what truly matters. Whether you're burned out, anxious, or just trying to make sense of it all, this book is your roadmap to calm, compassion, and perspective.
