Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope everyone had a safe, healthy, and memorable holiday season! Mine was lowkey with family, church, and some crazy Pacific Northwest wind and rain.

2025 is going to be interesting on so many levels! I have a slew of national and international talks, a new fiction thriller book, a new devotional, working on a Blind Descent movie, having a day dedicated to me in a California city, and I launched a podcast!

I know the beginning of 2025 hasn’t been great for everyone. The LA fires have caused catastrophic damage and loss to so many. I’ll be down there this weekend for a talk and a book signing and planning to donate proceeds to helping those in need. There are several ways to donate or help. I’m including the Red Cross donation page below.

Podcast

Calm in the Chaos Podcast: Because of the quick success of my book, Calm in the Chaos, I decided to create a platform to share more interviews and dive deep into the mindset of the Rescue Swimmer. The official launch date is January 15!

Paperback, eBook, and Audiobook

Customers wrote: The story is inspiring and gratifying, providing detailed descriptions of the physical and mental challenges of high mountain ascents. Readers describe the writing as well-written, personal, and emotional. They find the book hard to put down and difficult to put away.

YouVersion

Change is made of choices, and choices are made of character!
