13,504 – Lessons in Leadership, Faith, and the Moments That Matter
What if leadership wasn’t measured by wins, titles, or trophies—but by faithfulness, one day at a time?
13,504 represents the number of days I served as a teacher, coach, and athletic administrator. Over 37 years, those days were filled with decisions, conversations, challenges, and quiet moments that shaped lives—including my own.
In 13,504: Lessons in Leadership, Faith, and the Moments That Matter, I reflects on those years and shares five foundational leadership principles forged through real experience:
• Be consistent
• Be patient
• Show empathy and grace
• Think long term
• Be intentional about the moments
Blending personal stories from classrooms, locker rooms, offices, and bus rides with Scripture, reflection, and practical insight, this leader-devotional hybrid invites you to slow down and reflect on how you lead and live.
This is not a book about perfection—it’s about stewardship. Whether you lead at work, at home, or in your community, 13,504 will encourage you to steward your days wisely, influence people intentionally, and recognize the moments that matter most.
Because leadership isn’t built in a single season—it’s formed one faithful day at a time.

Made New – A Teen’s Journey Toward a Life God Blesses
As a follow up to Made New I wrote one for teens, in particular especially and inspired to help my grandkids.
For 37 years, I had the privilege of working with students—as a teacher, coach, and administrator.
And if there’s one thing I learned, it’s this:
Being a teenager today is harder than ever.
The pressure to fit in.
The noise of social media.
The struggle to know who they really are.
That’s why I wrote Made New: A Teen’s Journey Toward the Life God Blesses.
It’s a devotional designed to help students discover their true identity in Christ—one choice, one prayer, one step at a time.
Because when a teen begins to live as the person God created them to be, everything changes.

Made New – Living the Life God Blesses
I’m excited to share that my latest book, Made New – Living the Life God Blesses, is now available!
This book is for anyone who’s tired of living in two worlds—the old self that holds you back and the new self God calls you into. Based on Ephesians 4:17–24, it’s a bold and honest look at what it means to fully step into the life God intends for you—one of surrender, purpose, and true transformation.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, divided, or unsure how to move forward in your faith, this is for you. I don’t write from the finish line—I write from the journey.

Let’s live the life God blesses—fully, freely, and faithfully.
“The Power of One”
We live in a society that emphasizes being better and having more stuff, money, power, and responsibility. But when does more start to mean we have less? One could argue that more gets in our way when it gets in the way of us being effective as a person and as a leader. When that happens, we need to simplify and redefine who we are, where we are going, and how we are going to get there.
Don’t just settle in the chase for more. Counter the chaos with the commitment to a simple one-word leadership approach that will help you grow, be better and be a blessing to those around you.
In each chapter, I share a leadership writing wrapped around each of the sixteen leadership words and then weaves in personal stories and experiences from my 37 years as an educator, coach, and athletic director.
Each chapter includes reflection questions for the reader to think about in their leadership journey.
