I write about living a life that is not only successful, but significant. This includes topics covering the range of "Having Fun, Making Money, and Making a Difference."
Five of my most popular blog articles:
Tim Tebow: Unconventional Just May Mean Revolutionary
"A Month of Italy" Video Trailer
Ewe Don't No What Ewe Don't No
In addition to regular blog articles, I also host a semi-regular caption contest where free, autographed books are given away to the winners. Here are three of the funnier ones:
General Info:
I enjoy humor, history, business, travel, sports, music, architecture, photography, my family and friends, motorized adventure, reading, and sharing my faith in Jesus Christ. I have been married to Terri for 19 years, and we have four wonderful children ages 15, 12, 8, and 7.
I hate math and science, waiting in line at Subway restaurants, and the American cultural phenomenon known as left lane driving. I'm also not a very big fan of "politically correct."
Favorite Quote:
"Our greatest fear shouldn't be that we won't succeed, but rather, that we'll succeed at something that doesn't matter!" (attributed to D. L. Moody)
Some of my own quotes (as far as I know!):
"It's not as important to succeed as it is to matter."
"The only way to BE happy is to GIVE happy."
"Our privileges are not for our pleasure, but for our purpose."

A More Authentic Bio:
I have experience with a live bug in my ear, walking through a paned-glass window, chickening out from the high dive in elementary school, destroying the class ant farm in third grade, losing a spelling bee on the word "use," jackhammering my foot, and, more recently, sinking my snowmobile in a lake. I have also done some dumb things.
