Many of you are aware that I am a writer, but you have no idea what kind of work I do. Well, it is time to remedy that. Writing is not a hobby for me, it is my profession. After spending more than twenty years in corporate sales and marketing, I made a huge career U-turn and wrote a book. It was an insane idea; I had never had a word published.

Yet here I am interviewing the […]

You get up. You eat breakfast (or not). You go to work. You eat lunch. You come home. You have dinner. You go to bed. For most, the routine leaves little time for anything else.

This week’s guest on GOD UNPLUGGED is NFL kicker, Jason Hanson. The 17-year veteran, and one of the NFL’s most productive kickers, is the Detroit Lions’ all-time scoring leader with 1,714 points as well as the all-time leader in field goals and extra points.

Amazingly, the Spokane, Wash., native has only missed seven […]
Read more...The Adoption Option
23-year-old recording artist, Nate Huss, is putting his money where his mouth is…literally. Unlike most recording artists who support a cause from the sidelines, Nate is giving his pet project, adoption, all of his attention. For the month of November, Nate has literally taken his website down and put a holding page about adoption in it’s place. That’s a costly move for an up-and-comer who is building a name for himself. It just goes to show you what a quality guy he is. Nate was only three weeks old when he was placed in the loving arms of his new adopted family – the Phoenix home of Dave and Sylvia […]
