About me
I am the father of four kids under the age of 10. Years of reading picture books aloud to my children has deepened my love for them. On any given day, the shelves, tables, and floors of our home are littered with picture books of every genre. I live near Dallas Texas, with my beautiful wife, the four kiddos, one outdoor cat, and one indoor fish.
There is one thing better than reading a great book with one of my kids; writing one I know they will love.
That said, if one of my kids manages to beat me at Bananagrams someday, that will be a close second.
Member, Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI)
My Writing
My writing is largely inspired by the escapades of our young family.
Everyday life and conversation with children is so ripe with stories, meaning, and imagination, that my mind is constantly brimming with ideas. And I plan to write until there are none left.
