I am sometimes amazed about where my stuff shows up on the
Net. One of my video tributes to my late wife showed up on
this site.
I wrote another essay about being a suicide survivor (of
course, Melinda's death had a
profound impact on my life) and the
Albuquerque Journal published it on June 2nd (the 4th
anniversary of Melinda's death). Read it
here or click on the logo.
A recent essay I wrote was published in the Des Moines
Register. Click
here to read it. Thanks!
(The page is now gone on the Des
Moines Register site but you can do an archive search to
pull it up).
I have written a memoir that deals with grief and struggling with
multiple sclerosis.
This is a mock-up of the book cover, designed by my brother, Evan.
As of yet it is unpublished, but you can read it by clicking the
button below the image (send me an email to request the manuscript).
The only thing I ask in return is to send me your feedback. Thank
you.
I am also working on another memoir called
Moving Forward; Learning to walk again for the first time.
I am an award-winning
broadcast journalist but had to abandon that career
one year after being diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis.
Our
wedding went extremely well and I will post more
photos on this website soon! Unfortunately
there are more cases of the sometimes-fatal brain
disease PML associated with taking the drug Tysabri.
I
have my last MS
seminar this month in West Des Moines at
Legend's Sports Bar and Grill on Thursday night
(August, 19th). It
is Thursday and tomorrow I will, once-again, be a
married man. I am doing last-minute preparations for
the wedding and am, of course, excited. I
had my second speech
at a MS Seminar in Storm Lake
on Tuesday, August 17th. My 3-part speech is now on
YouTube.
