While I cherish my writing and speaking careers, nothing is more important to me than my family and my faith. Both influence me every single day and in every single thing I do.

I am a Christian.

Specifically, I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are sometimes referred to as “Mormons” or “Latter-day Saints”, but they are nicknames and we prefer to use the full name of the Church. It is an important reminder that the Church doesn’t belong to us, it is His.

Occasionally I write columns about my faith or on topics that might be more interesting to fellow members of the Church. The majority of work will appeal to Christians of all types, and even to those who do not belong to any organized religion.

I have deep respect for the freedom of religion. I am grateful for our rights to believe and worship as we choose, or not at all.

I invite you to learn more. I’d love to answer questions you have about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and explain the happiness it brings my family. Please use the contact form and reach out to me personally anytime. You may also contact me on Facebook or Twitter.
