About

With the help of countless individuals, I have been named the imaginative mind behind the Woodland Embrace series. I serve the time I've been given as a proud school principal, a loving husband, and devoted father of two boys.  Not only have I been tasked with managing the school halls; I'm also considered the champion of bedtime stories and expert mediator of sibling negotiations at home. I embarked on this journey armed with a master's in education and a passion for turning meltdowns into teachable moments, and I'm on a mission to help little minds understand and embrace the rollercoaster ride of big feelings. I strive to turn ordinary days into extraordinary experiences that ensure children are constantly surrounded by laughter, love, and a sense of wonder.

When I'm not attempting to live up to the "champion" and "expert" personas I've been given, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors, drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature for my next book. Join me on my quest to spread joy and emotional well-being through the magical world of the Woodland Embrace series.

Thanks for visiting!
