About Michael
Christian | Husband | Dad | Nerd | Writer
I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but spent my childhood in a small town on the south Florida coast. When I was eleven, I lived on a small hobby farm in Minnesota. I went to high school in a big suburban high school near Chicago.
As an adult, I worked a variety of jobs in bike shops, bookstores, pizza delivery, and selling computers. I managed a call center and trained teams. I built websites and analyzed mortgages. I worked for Fortune 500 companies and two-person start-ups. I have been a technical writer for software used by U.S. Air Force and patient care software used by hospitals across the U.S.
In 2005, I fell in love with and married Karly. We have five children and homeschool in a very busy home with two dogs, two cats, and occasionally some backyard chickens.
I teache a bible study, volunteer with AWANA, and serves as the chaplain to our local Trail Life Troop. He sometime coach soccer and T-ball, and still occasionally deliver pizza.

The devotional series for the 21st century. Not easy, hyper-relevant, emergent, or any other catchphrase. Just compelling Christian truths are presented in a way that you can contemplate during a single week of study.
