Autor se narodil a vyrůstal na Středozápadě, ale jeho srdce si získal Západ se svými majestátními horami a průzračnými řekami. Jeho psaní, které se často zaměřuje na západní témata, zkoumá tuto krajinu a její jedinečnou, těžko popsatelnou přitažlivost. Jeho dřívější kariéra v žurnalistice, spolu s rodinnou tradicí řemesla, ovlivňuje jeho přístup k tvorbě. Autor se nyní věnuje především beletrii a tvůrčímu neuměleckému psaní, kde zachycuje syrovou krásu a neuchopitelný příslib Západu.
