Everything I have worked out about building a family, a business, and a life worth living — gathered in one place, free to read.

Building a Family Foundation for a Future of Strength
A person can work incredibly hard and still discover they are walking toward a life they never intentionally chose. 234 pages of the questions that changed that for me — and the six agreements they led to.
Why listen to me
I am not writing from theory. I served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, came home to Anchorage, and in 1998 started a business out of nothing that is still running today. I have started more companies than I can reliably count, and I have been wrong often enough to know the difference between working hard and going somewhere.
I am President of the Alaska State Defense Force Soldiers Association and I built the systems it runs on. I am a USCCA certified instructor. Most of what is on this site started as notes I kept for myself.
