I write about living a life that is not only successful, but significant. This includes topics covering the range of “Having Fun, Making Money, and Making a Difference.”

Five of my most popular blog articles:

Tim Tebow: Unconventional Just May Mean Revolutionary

“A Month of Italy” Video Trailer

Ewe Don’t No What Ewe Don’t No

The Wasting of Your Life

To Know and Still Glow

 

In addition to regular blog articles, I also host a semi-regular caption contest where free, autographed books are given away to the winners.  Here are three of the funnier ones:

General Info:

I enjoy humor, history, business, travel, sports, music, architecture, photography, my family and friends, motorized adventure, reading, and sharing my faith in Jesus Christ. I have been married to Terri for 31 years, we have four wonderful children, and two beautiful grandchildren.

I hate math and science, waiting in line at Subway restaurants, and the American cultural phenomenon known as left lane driving. I’m also not a very big fan of “politically correct.”

 

Favorite Quote:

“Our greatest fear shouldn’t be that we won’t succeed, but rather, that we’ll succeed at something that doesn’t matter!” (attributed to D. L. Moody)

 

Some of my own quotes (as far as I know!):

“It’s not as important to succeed as it is to matter.”

“The only way to BE happy is to GIVE happy.”

“Our privileges are not for our pleasure, but for our purpose.”

A More Authentic Bio:

I have experience with a live bug in my ear, walking through a paned-glass window, chickening out from the high dive in elementary school, destroying the class ant farm in third grade, losing a spelling bee on the word “use,” jackhammering my foot, and, more recently, sinking my snowmobile in a lake. I have also done some dumb things.

    Chris I have read your book Life and am extremely interested in finding out more about Improvement Deficiency Syndrome. Your blog is the only thing I have been able to access that talks about it. You recommend the individual get with their mentor immediately and to not take this lightly. I live in Millington, Michigan and currently am unemployed but after reading about IDS I realize now what went wrong in my last three career attempts but need help in how to fix me.

    Chris, I just finished your book “A Month of Italy” and Loved every word. Having been blessed to travel to Italy many times as I own a Catholic Tour Co. and have taken many groups to the places you write about. On several occasions while reading your book, I laughed out loud as I relived your experiences.You are a brilliant author and convey the life of the Italian lifestyle to the tee.
    On a personal note, it sounds like you attended a Catholic school as a young man and I appreciate your devotion to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, but please God,I hope if you were raised Catholic, you still attend the Catholic church. Where we all should respect each others faith, if you received your first holy communion, you were given the bread of life and given the greatest of all gifts.God Bless and please continue to write those fabulous books.
