Today marked the beginning of a five-month journey Melody and I are taking to invest in our health and well-being at Deana’s water aerobics class. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10 a.m., you’ll find us—and a host of smiling faces—splashing, laughing, and working out with one of the most contagiously energetic instructors we’ve ever […]
The soft breeze of Port Isabel caressed our faces as we stood under the shade of a tall palm tree, gazing at the shimmering bay waters. Life here felt like a dream—a haven of peace we worked so hard to create. Yet, in the midst of this tranquility, a heavy cloud lingered in our hearts. […]
Thanksgiving in Port Isabel carries a special kind of warmth, not just from the sun-kissed palm trees but from the deep, abiding gratitude that fills the air. This year, as Melody and I sit on the front lawn are, gazing out at beauty around us, I’m reminded of how much we have to be thankful […]
We don’t talk enough about the quiet unraveling that can happen in a man’s life—not from failure, but from fatigue. Not from disaster, but from disconnection. You’re Not Done Yet was born in that space. It’s a book for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s—and beyond—who wake up one day and realize the life they built […]

Some books are imagined. This one was lived. A Season in the Sun is one of the most personal books I’ve ever written—not because it’s a memoir (it’s not, quite), but because every chapter is rooted in real sand, real people, real healing. Set during a winter season in Port Isabel, Texas, the book follows a man—like […]
There was a time when I was surviving more than I was living. Days filled with noise, demands, grief, and confusion. I couldn’t tell where one emotion ended and another began. Stillness in the Storm was born from that space—not from peace, but from the desperate need for it. It began as a simple practice: one reflection per […]
Most of us grow up thinking power is something you have to take. Force. Control. Domination. That’s what we see in movies and boardrooms. But what if power didn’t require pressure? What if strength could come from stillness? That’s the question at the heart of Effortless Power. This book is rooted in Ki-Aikido, the martial art I’ve […]
This book was the hardest to write—because it was written from a place most of us try to avoid. When I’m Gone is not a farewell letter. It’s a doorway. A deeply personal, quietly honest book written as if I were already on the other side of life, speaking to those I love. It’s the book […]
Some books are written for an audience. This one was written for the people I love—especially those I may never get the chance to fully explain myself to. What I Hope You Remember is not a guidebook. It’s a gift. A collection of reflections, letters, and life lessons pulled from the quiet moments between chaos. These […]
