About

I didn't arrive at any of this through theory.

​

I've spent most of my life building things, starting businesses, raising children, writing books, making mistakes, questioning authority and the status quo, and occasionally making my own life considerably more difficult because something didn't make sense to me and I couldn't help but dismantle it to see what it was really made of.

​

I've been down more rabbit holes than I could shake a stick at.

​

I've had some success. I've gone broke. I've been right about a lot of what I've questioned, but I've also had to rethink some of what I once believed was true.

​

And somewhere along the way, I became increasingly interested in questioning why we believe what we believe, how much of it comes from what we've been told, and what happens when some of those beliefs begin falling apart.

​

Religion. God. Government. Our legal reality. Myself. Nothing has been particularly safe.

Some of that has made its way into books over the years. Some of it probably should have stayed in my head. Too late now.

​

But the older I've gotten, the less I've felt the need to prove anything to anybody.

These days, I'm more interested in taking a hard look at our own lives—what works, what doesn't, what we've accepted, the compromises we've made, and what we've known for years but haven't wanted to admit.

​

I don't have all the answers.

​

But I've lived enough life to know that some of the most important questions don't go away simply because we'd rather look the other way.

​

That's where much of my writing seems to be taking me now.

I live in Minnesota.
