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.

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...
Imagine your retirement party. The room is full of people you have worked with over the years. Someone stands up to give a toast. What do they say? Not what you hope they say. What do they actually say based on how you have led? That gap between the legacy you imagine and the legacy you are building is worth examining, because you are writing that speech right now whether you realize it or not.
Some leaders will be remembered with words like these: “He was brilliant, but I was always afraid of...
A leader once asked me how to rebuild trust with a team after a major decision went sideways. I told him the truth he did not want to hear: you cannot. Not quickly, anyway. By the time you need trust, it is too late to build it. Trust is not constructed in crisis. It is accumulated in the thousand small moments when no one is watching and nothing important seems to be happening.
Most leaders think about reputation in terms of big moments. The product launch. The tough client conversation. The...
The project is three weeks behind schedule. The client is in the room. Your boss is watching. The junior developer who missed the deadline is sitting across from you, terrified. You feel your heart rate spike. You feel the urge to say something like, “Well, if the code had been reviewed properly, we would not be here.” You want to deflect the heat. You want to protect yourself. Everyone in that room is watching to see what kind of leader you are.
