I’ve been digging in the dirt since I was a kid, helping my grandpa tend his vegetable patch in rural Ohio. There’s nothing like the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow from a tiny seed to something you can eat, touch, or admire.

I write the way I talk: no jargon, just good advice and a few hard-earned lessons along the way.
