The Egg
You are holding an egg. Carefully you have just taken it from the carton and go to crack it over the sizzling frying pan. Suddenly the egg drops to the floor. You curse quietly to yourself. You clean it up. You throw it away. You go to reach for another egg… Now, think of what […]
Giant in our City Event with Governor Herbert
Last week I had a most unique opportunity to help the Salt Lake Chamber keep their Promise to 1,300 attendees of their most prestigious award honoring The Giant in our City to Governor Gary Herbert. Rather than having the event at the beautiful Grand America Hotel in downtown SLC, due to the COVID-19 restrictions […]
The Shot
“How did you do that Daddy?!” yelled my sons after I made yet another shot off of my head from the basketball spinning trickery. “I’m going to film you to show Mommy”, my oldest boy said, picking up my iPhone. So I kept shooting and mugging for the camera. You know, the normal shots: […]
Are LIVE Events Back?
As I walked into the auditorium it was surprising to see a group of friends gathered for a LIVE event.

Amazon #1 The Promise To The One
To say I was stunned by the email from my publisher, the day after my new book launched, is an understatement. The day of the launch, I was just happy the Kindle version opened on my phone, as I shared in this quick video! To be candid, I had just finished writing […]
My Gift to The Graduates of the Class of 2020
Outside of my office the sound of children laughing, playing, running and being chased fills the air. Young friends reunited, having been quarantined for 2 months of no play dates, it’s as if shackles were shed. It is beautiful and sunny. Restrictions have been cautiously lifted to a new color, not yet entirely free […]
Boys Get Flowers for Mom
After every child had given Mom their handmade cards, tears shed as she read their sweet words, daughter promising to take Mommy to lunch the coming week, and watching the boys’ homemade movie for her, our two oldest sons said, “That’s not all!” As they giggled and went out the back door and began […]
