I was originally born in California, but my family moved to Oklahoma shortly after. I grew up in Southeastern Oklahoma, where I developed a love for agriculture and a country life. My desire for a country life influences my writing in that I write with a common sense, straightforward approach that my readers will appreciate.

My first book, "Technology Is Starving America," was written because, as much as I appreciate technology, our society's increasingly dependent status on technology concerns me. I see individuals losing skills, jobs, health, quality education, meaningful relationships, and even security because of technological dependence. I was compelled to write the book to warn people about this dependency before they lose valuable areas of their lives that they may never get back.

"Technology Is Starving America" is a book that alerts Americans to technology’s figurative and literal starvation of America. I discuss the concept of a “technoholic,” various areas that technology detrimentally affects Americans’ lives, and how to avoid “starvation.”

While I acknowledge many technological achievements that have positively influenced society, I stress to readers that there are many unintended consequences that manifest in Americans’ lives. I advise readers how to limit negative influences from technology while still benefitting from its positive outcomes. The world is just too dependent on technology. I was compelled to write this book not to bash technology, but to shed a light on the quality of life that Americans are losing and help people reclaim some of it before it is too late.

Each day is a challenge and I love to meet it.

I enjoy auctioneering, raising livestock, reading agriculture books, and visiting places I've never been before.
