Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Chantilly, Virginia, with my wife of thirty-six years. We have four children between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-three who work, study, and serve in various parts of the country. I’m an avid non-fiction reader and love teaching as well as watching and playing (although not as well and as often as I used to) sports.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Power Over Pornography: The Breakthrough Formula for Overcoming Pornography Addiction.”
I never intended to write a book at all. After years of research trial and error working to help pornography viewers overcome their habit, I developed a unique but effective program that was very effective. Given the lack of effectiveness of other programs, I felt that I could best get it out to others by putting it in book form. So many people want to stop viewing but can’t because they don’t know how. This book shows them how. Those following his program have realized success and benefits they never thought possible.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write in the mornings but nothing unusual.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Leadership and Self-Deception is an eye-opening book that influenced me to write..Other books include Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and Clayton Christensen’s “How Will You Measure Your Life?”
What are you working on now?
Figuring out how to deliver a newly developed course by the same name so that more people can kick their porn-viewing habit.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still trying to figure that out. Mostly, it’s word-of-mouth from those who read it, applied its principles and have experienced success.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Inspiration comes while you’re working. Don’t wait for inspiration to come first.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Everything is a choice. You don’t have to do anything.”
“Never give up.”
“If the king doesn’t rise, the kingdom falls.”
What are you reading now?
“Expert Secrets” by Russell Brunson and “Advertising Solutions” by Craig Simpson and Brian Kurtz.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Before starting my next book, I want to expand the help I’m providing to people for overcoming their addictions in order to enjoy happier lives. I then want to write a book to help people overcome other addictions besides pornography.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
7 Habits, How Will You Measure Your Life?, Leadership and Self-Deception
