Pushing Boundaries with Narratives & Fictional Stories

Fun short stories for adults with intriguingly different perspectives

My Memoir

Provocative title, huh? Some of you may love it, while others may even want to shoot me. If you're in the latter group, remember that old adage: 'Never judge a book by its cover.' Yeah, that...

Join me on my journey as I weave humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with me on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads me to what I would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.

Who Am I

I am a storyteller, merging the worlds of “normal”life, grief, spirituality, sports and more—sometimes with a humorous  touch and often with a knack for the whimsical. A former  collegiate football star at Florida State University (two-time  Academic All-American), I spent nearly three decades as an NFL  agent before stumbling through the brutal aftermath of my  daughter’s death in search of healing and truth, open to  exploring modalities that would have previously been taboo. For  the past eight-plus years, I have enjoyed traversing what I call  the “Robinson Crusoe beaches of the Caribbean” in Costa Rica. 

What I Write About

  • Grief / Healing

    We all have experienced pain. This perhaps connects us as humans more than any other earthly ‘activity’. I walked through the loss of my oldest child - okay, limped and crawled through it - and discovered that it is possible to heal from what some consider life’s greatest tragedy. Here I relate personal stories, ponder the mysteries of the human heart, share from my experiences, and much more, including poetry born out of deepest grief and sorrow.

  • Mystical / Spiritual

    I’m guessing that all of us have questioned our existence, our purpose. For me, this questioning took on an unparalleled intensity when my daughter died. The journey of discovery that this heartbreak thrust me upon has truly left me speechless at times, in awe of that which lies beyond our five senses. Join with me, if so inclined, into this world of beauty and exploration, and do so with a willingness to be as a little child - open to a love indescribable - as I share stories and posts and whatever else wants to reveal itself.

  • Whimsical / Humorous

    Folks that know me well know that I can’t go too long without a good laugh, and I love to test the boundaries of, well, many things. Here I will share stories that I find humorous, edgy, and sometimes downright ludicrous, in the hopes that you find them so, as well. Maybe there will even be a cryptic meaning or two layered within the tales that will circle us back into one or more of the other categories.

  • Edgy

    Ah, here things get a bit crazy, and, I confess, at times quite uncomfortable. These stories, as suggested, take us to the edge, presenting difficult scenarios or situations that might leave us a bit squeamish, or frightened, or maybe they are just plain “out there” a little. All of it, though, is meant to reveal deeper things to us, if we let it.

  • Normal-ish

    Is there really anything that might be labeled as normal? I use this category, more or less, as a catch-all, a container to house the stories that don’t necessarily (or strongly) fit into any of the other genres. Or something like that, haha.

  • SPORTS

    As a former collegiate football player (FSU) and NFL agent… I have deep insights into the inner workings of amateur and professional sports, and into the psyche of those that play the game. This allows me to dig deeper into the stories within the stories.

    I love to tell stories out onto ‘paper’ so that others can see and feel the emotions that I, too, experience when considering the deeper realities hidden within the ‘games’ we play. Of course, sometimes I simply must take the narratives being fed to the public and share my own view, frequently a drastically different perspective. Either way, I hope I can entertain you and even enter into at least a hypothetical dialogue (or maybe even virtual) about the subjects that we cover.
