What I write about
I write at the overlap of faith, culture, and public persuasion. Some essays are close readings of rhetoric and institutions. Some are acts of criticism about pop culture, narrative, and moral atmosphere. Some are attempts to think in public, from a Latter-day Saint point of view, about the kind of witness and language that still sound adult in modern life.
The common thread is not a niche. It is an attention pattern. I am interested in how belief becomes visible, how institutions gain or lose trust, and how public speech can become either more human or more theatrical.
Why I write
I want to write in a way that is slower than the day’s argument and clear enough to remain useful after the moment passes. That does not mean humorless. It does mean deliberate.
I care about clarity, proportion, and voice. I want the language to be direct without becoming flat and faithful without becoming brittle.
The communications arc
My background includes student journalism, sales, writing, and communications work. That mix left me interested in persuasion from both sides: how it is practiced and how it is received. It also left me suspicious of rhetorical habits that sound polished while quietly reducing trust.
I am drawn to work that sits between ideas and the public square, especially when the question is not only what is true but how truth should sound in public.
What I am open to
I am open to thoughtful conversations about writing, communications, commentary, and projects where public voice matters. That can include essays, editorial work, speaking opportunities, communications consulting, or collaborations that benefit from careful language and a clear point of view.
