​Stories rooted in the land.

Made to travel.

I regularly book appearances at ranching and agricultural themed events and parties. Got an event coming up and need entertainment? Inquire with me about availability. Check my YouTube channel for example of some of my work. Reach out: I'd love to hear from you.

SUPPORT THE WORK

Stories worth staying connected to.

Four times a year, I’ll send a note from my corner of the West, new writings, book news, upcoming events, and a few interesting things I think are worth sharing.

No crowded inbox. Just thoughtful stories, sent occasionally.​
