Background: Husband, Dad, and Submarine Veteran. Works a real job unfortunately, but plays golf better than James, pulls for Philadelphia Eagles and Virginia Tech Hokies.
Go-To Author: Jack Carr, Mark Greaney, and Andrews & Wilson are my favorites but really enjoying M.P. Woodward and Bruce Robert Coffin of late.
Author People Should Discover: Bruce Robert Coffin. He’s got some extremely entertaining books he’s done on treasure hunts with Lyndee Walker and his latest lead Detective Brock Justice is exciting from start to finish.
Book You Would Recommend From 2025: Red Tide by M.P. Woodward. Authentic and realistic battle in the South China Sea revolving around the battle of Taiwan and their semiconductors capabilities.
Most-Anticipated Book Of 2026: The Fourth Option by M.P. Woodward and Jack Carr.
Favorite Local/Indie Bookstore: Main Street Reads in Summerville, SC and if I am ordering out of state I usually go with The Book Dragon Shop in Stanton, Virginia.
Favorite Charities: Compassion International advocates for children, committed to Jesus Christ in all that they do. Food for the Hungry seeks to end ALL forms of human poverty by going to the hard places and walking with the world’s most vulnerable people.
