Welcome to my Story Land. I’m a former Montana sheep rancher who somehow became a writer, stage performer, and radio host in Houston, Texas.

In my latest book, Yes, Camels Really Do Spit, I confess the most foolhardy mistakes I’ve ever made and I discover the humor behind these blunders. I found that’s really the best way to learn anything.

Most of these stories have been performed on stage, on the radio, or featured in national magazines, and I love telling them.
