Tell me your story.

I'll make sure your grandchildren can read and hear it in a free book.

You talk. I listen. We record our chat, and your stories become a beautiful book. I cover the cost of your first paperback book, and I do all the work. This is my retirement mission.​ Read more about this at HeritageCircle

About me

I grew up in Plymouth, MN, graduated from Wayzata High School in 1976, went to college, married my sweetheart and started a family.

Then lots of decades happened. Like for so many of us.

I've spent a lifetime in sales, marketing, management, and digital design. From 2003 to 2019, I owned and operated a web design and web hosting company that served hundreds of insurance agents. I managed their social media accounts, created their marketing videos, and wrote hundreds of business articles for them.

I sold my business and retired in 2019 and have been spending more time with our eight kids and 22 grandchildren. Mary and I are on the road many weekends visiting family and going on adventures. Retirement has been great. But I find that I keep picking up projects to help people along the way. I'm not sure I'll ever fully retire lol.

Lately, my projects have focused on helping people preserve their legacies. A few weeks ago, I brought my daughter alongside to help me with the growing demand.

I also write. I'm working on a memoir, finishing our own family legacy album, and I post on Substack and Facebook. For many years I wrote online about my spiritual and health journeys on Facebook and blogs. And there are books I've not yet written that are "burning a hole" in my soul. I hope I get to write them. Maybe someday. You can find my endeavors and writings below. Make sure you friend me on Facebook!

Endeavors & Writings

Scribora Publishing

I publish books other publishers ignore. Memoir, autobiography, personal journeys, devotional writing, poetry, spirituality, essays, and reflections on life, meaning, and faith.

This is not hybrid publishing. There are no fees. We share royalties. I am a traditional publisher. I welcome first-time authors. Click here.

Facebook

Facebook says that I've published over 19,000 posts. So, I guess I've been there a while lol. I've made some deep and lasting friendships-- friendships as real as in-person ones.

 

I'm moving my more introspective writing to Substack now. Please follow me on Facebook to keep up with our everyday lives. Click here.

Substack

I've recently started an online journal called Thoughts. It's where I plan to post musings on life, mental health, and random things that pop into my head. I'd be honored if you followed me there. Please subscribe to my Substack ​here.

At Rest In Him

This is an archive of years of my spiritual posts. I'm not actively posting here but may occasionally write something that I feel fits here better than on Substack. It's religious, so you've been warned lol. Click here.
