Born in Texas, and raised in California, he has held numerous titles: ne'er-do-well, wanderer, catalog order picker, "big-ticket" toy salesman, and writer, among them. He first visited Branson in the mid-1980s, not long after his parents moved to Missouri. Together with his wife, Shawna, and his son, Stephen, he enjoys exploring the Ozarks and America at large.
