Level Up Together
$14.99

For years I used video games to disappear. LEVEL UP TOGETHER is 33 short chapters on how to pick up a second controller and use it as a door instead of a wall — Fortnite, Minecraft, Rocket League, whatever they’re into. Written after a divorce, an injury, and a season of standing outside a door I used to walk through without knocking. Available now on Amazon. Buy on Amazon →

Take My Advice
$18.99

Twelve mentors. Seven anti-mentors. Fifty-three chapters on the voices that have been running your decisions without your permission. Written by a man who lost a career to a broken back, a marriage he didn’t choose to end, and rebuilt from a friend’s kitchen counter with a laptop and about two hours. Available now on Amazon. Buy on Amazon →

Keystrokes
$14.99

Twenty-five keys, learned the hard way. CTRL for the thoughts running away from you. DEL for what you’re still carrying that was never yours. ALT for when the road you’re on is a dead end. Written by a man who rebuilt a life out of parts that didn’t fit anymore — in a studio apartment above a buddy’s barn, one keystroke at a time. Available now on Amazon. Buy on Amazon →

Keystrokes: The Christian Journey
$14.99

You don’t get to pick what breaks you. You get to pick what you rebuild on. Keystrokes: The Christian Journey walks the same twenty-five keys as the original, but with Scripture in one hand and honest experience in the other — the mental-health truth behind each key, the biblical truth under it, and a prayer to take it to God. Available now on Amazon. Buy on Amazon →

BOOK ME TO SPEAK

Keynotes, workshops, and men’s group sessions built on the mentor and anti-mentor framework from Take My Advice.

A man wearing glasses and a black cap with a logo, smiling, sitting at a table in a casual restaurant or bar, with a beer in front of him.
