A longtime journalist and writing coach, he turned practical newsroom experience into books that aim to help readers write more clearly and tell true stories well. His work ranges from hands-on advice for writers to a World War II survival memoir co-written with David Ririe and Carolyn Ririe Nielsen.

After graduating from Brigham Young University, he worked as a journalist, drawing on years in the field to shape the straightforward, practical style of his books. His first book, Writing Content: Mastering Magazine and Online Writing (2009), blends guidance for new writers with reflections from his own career.
He also co-wrote One-Mission Man (2011), a memoir about World War II veteran and former prisoner of war David Ririe, alongside Carolyn Ririe Nielsen. The book shows his interest in helping real-life stories reach a wider audience in a clear, accessible way.
Across his work, the focus stays on plainspoken writing, lived experience, and the craft of turning complicated material into something readers can easily follow.
