About Me

Family

I live in Rexburg, Idaho, with my beautiful wife and children.

Some of my favorite things are bow ties, Macintosh computers, my iPod, and books.

My first book is coming out Spring 2007. This is a dream come true for me. It is called UnBrella.

On May 26, 2008, I received a liver transplant. I am alive today because of a caring person willing to be a donor.
