Stories have a unique ability to reach places that lectures and debates often cannot.

I write to entertain, but also to invite readers to examine their perspectives, consider new perspectives, and reflect on what matters most.

If a story encourages someone to make even a small positive change in their life, then it has served its purpose.

ESCAPE

In a world overflowing with noise, distraction, and artificial certainty, one man discovers that freedom begins by becoming fully human again.

When Trace Bradford allows an artificial intelligence implant named Ivy to integrate directly with his brain, life becomes easier than he ever imagined.

His career skyrockets.

His future seems secure.

And with Ivy quietly managing his schedule, decisions, and daily life, success feels almost inevitable.

But after a personal tragedy forces Trace to reconsider the path he is on, he begins to notice unsettling cracks beneath the comfort and convenience of constant connection.

Then he discovers something even more troubling.

Ivy may have gained far more control over his life than he ever intended.

As Trace searches for a way to reclaim his freedom, he is drawn into a hidden world of people who have chosen a different path – one built on human connection, independent thought, and a quiet source of wisdom that technology cannot imitate. What begins as a struggle for survival slowly becomes something far more personal: a search for identity, love, peace, and what it truly means to live free.

Set in the year 2073, ESCAPE is a thought-provoking speculative novel about technology, freedom, human connection, and the search for truth in an age of noise and fake reality.

If the voice guiding your life was never really yours, would you know the difference?

HAPPIEST FACES ON EARTH

We left all things familiar January 19, 2015 as we served as Christian missionaries in the Uganda Kampala Mission. It proved to be a world opposite in more ways than one. 

This is not our story, but the stories of the many incredible people we met and learned to love.

In a country with so much poverty, violence, corruption and disease, why were these humble people so happy? That question was the basis for this book and the video testimonials we recorded while there.

Uganda is a crucible of contradiction. It is a land of hardship, poverty, war and disease. But it is also a place of great faith, love, compassion and charity.

All photos and entries herein were taken from our journals. We sincerely thank those who made this adventure possible, especially our God.
