Journey Out

The journey out of depression and despair is often a perilous fight. Unfortunately, nearly 50,000 of our fellow Americans give up the struggle every year and commit suicide. Also unfortunate is the fact that a growing number have decided to take others with them in mass shooting events.

Over the past decade, I have been researching the origin and roots of depression and anxiety which has taken our society by a storm. It held me captive for a season many years ago and I resolved not to let it consume my life. I also realized I couldn’t do it on my own.

The QR code below is regarding a book I wrote documenting that journey. My hope is that you will either pick up a copy for yourself or someone you love who is locked in this great struggle of our time.

Just a fellow traveler in this journey called life whose been all over the proverbial map. I was a Captain in the United States Army, an internet entrepreneur before it's time, an Actor, a Real Estate Agent, Social Worker, Executive Director of a non-profit, a Production Foreman, Team Leader, Technical Writer, Small Business Owner, and a Quality and Operations Manager. As a volunteer, I have taught, coached, written lesson plans, led small groups and mentored men as a part of Christian Ministry. I currently work with men as a lay counselor both in and out of jail. I am a guy who never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and quite frankly, still not really sure. I like to write stories, commentary, screenplays and a little poetry that I hope will make you think about more than what you’re wearing today, or whether your favorite team won the big game. My wife Jill and I have three adult children and two grandchildren. When I’m not working or enjoying my family, I find pleasure in the pursuit of writing thought provoking stories and poetry about the human drama.
