i make things up for a living…
novels
I’m passionate about putting pen to paper through a wide array of mediums which include novels, non-fiction books, journalism, copywriting, songwriting, speaking and film. My series of Irish historical novels have been blessed with tremendous reviews. The Heirs of Ireland series covers the journey of Irish immigrants in the 19th century.
photography
My emphasis is on landscape and travel photography where it’s my intention to capture as true-to-life an experience for those with adventure in their souls. Unlike much photography these days, which can be composites of as many of 50 different blended shots, I prefer my photography to represent the natural beauty recorded by the eye.
This typically means long, onerous hikes in rarely traveled places. The goal is to capture in the frame images that require little touchup work and express the moment in the most genuine way possible.

marketing
I have a deep passion for serving entrepreneurs and assisting them in telling their stories. Not only are completely crazy to risk everything for their dreams, but the crazier thing is they often reach them.
I love their perseverance in wanting to share the services and products they’ve engineered in the hope of making the world a better place.
My agency, Global Studio, is celebrating it’s twentieth year of service and I have been blessed to work with some of the largest…and smallest corporations in the nation. You can learn more about my marketing agency by visiting GlobalStudio.com.
blog
Real Life. Real God. is a blog I started nearly ten years ago. After a hiatus, I’m excited about relaunching it with the aim of developing a deeper understanding of how our faith integrates into our daily lives. How does this look in our marriage, family, friendships and work?
film
I wrote, filmed and produced these documentaries designed to bring light to the dark challenges faced by today’s families. From the Emmy and Telly award winning Crystal Darkness series which impacted more than 30 million people throughout the world to the groundbreaking anti-bullying video, I worked with passionate parents, youth and educators to create these.
sports column
My weekly column, on Steelers Depot is purely a passion project as I’ve been a raving Pittsburgh Steelers fan since I was nine years old.
You’ll need to be a fan of the Black and Gold to enjoy my opinion column called Steelers Spin, but if you are, you’ll also enjoy the plethora of other articles on Steelers Depot penned by other nutcase writers like myself.
