About

I write essays that praise the mutilated world and teach writing at College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri. My first book, a collection of garden essays titled Leaves of Healing, will be out from Belle Point Press in 2024. The book is based upon essays I first wrote for my newsletter, which contains seasonal reports from my permaculture garden. A Nebraska native, I live in Branson, Missouri, with my wife and our four children.

The site is run using Jekyll on GitHub Pages. Please don’t assume from that any real technical acumen on my part.
