I lead technology teams in the enterprise world, working at the intersection of high-stakes decision-making, human complexity, and long-term consequence. Whether I’m writing about leadership or imagining future civilizations, my work is driven by the same question: how do people act when the pressure is real and the answers are not obvious?
I am not a pastor or a theorist. I am a practitioner. My leadership writing is grounded in Scripture, approached with intellectual honesty, and tested against real-world environments where power, politics, and responsibility collide. The leaders found in the Bible were not idealized figures, they were flawed humans navigating impossible choices. That tension is where I believe lasting wisdom lives.
In my science fiction, those same themes surface through different lenses: authority, sacrifice, loyalty, belief, and the cost of survival. I am drawn to stories that explore what happens when individuals and societies are forced to choose between comfort and conviction, control and conscience.
Across both genres, I write without platitudes and without easy answers. No Christianese. No moral shortcuts. Just grounded exploration of leadership, identity, and integrity when the stakes are high.
My work is for readers who want depth, whether they are seeking faith-anchored leadership insights or immersive speculative worlds that wrestle with timeless human questions.

In 2125, humanity learned a terrible truth: we are not alone in the universe, and we are not safe.
The Vethrak arrived without warning, without negotiation, without mercy. They call themselves "Those Who Claim," and to them, the harvesting of intelligent species is as...
I once sat across from a leader who had just fired three people in a single afternoon. “I had to act fast,” he said. “The situation was spiraling.” But when I asked what changed between Monday morning and Tuesday at 3 PM, he couldn’t answer. Nothing had changed except his anxiety level. The urgency he felt was real. The need for speed was not. Those three people lost their jobs because a leader confused the pressure he felt with the action required. Urgency screamed. Wisdom whispered. He...
A colleague once told me he lost his career over a text message he never sent. He typed it. His thumb hovered over Send. Then he set the phone down, walked away, and deleted it the next morning. “If I had hit Send,” he said, “I would have destroyed everything I spent 15 years building. The gate was my thumb. One inch of movement, and I would have driven through it.”
Most leaders obsess over the big decisions: which job to take, which strategy to pursue, which hill to die on. But those moments...
“Where are we on the Q3 report?” Your boss is looking at you in the status meeting. The report was due yesterday. You have not opened the file. The truth is mortifying. So you say, “It is coming along great. Just polishing up a few details. I will have it to you shortly.” The words come out smooth. You believe them as you are saying them. You are not lying, exactly. You are managing perceptions. You are buying time. You are protecting yourself from the shame of admitting you dropped the ball....
