ABOUT ME & MY BOOKS

I am a life-long resident of the Southern Ohio area and am an award-winning writer and author. When I was a sports writer, I won two Associated Press awards for columns I wrote — one was for a column I wrote about my interview with Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. I also won an award from the Ohio Prep Sports Writers Association.  As a broadcaster and news director, I won an award from the Ohio News Network. Then in television, I won a sales award from The WB Network.

In 2017, I took home the Outstanding Author Award at the Ohio Christian Writers Conference.

In 2020, my book First Down Devotions won first place in the prestigious Selah Awards at the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference.

I am a freelance writer and have had my work published in several high profile publications.
