Christbearing Warrior

From Hard Hat to Pen

I'm not what people picture when they think "author." I don't have an MFA. I didn't study creative writing. I'm a guy who worked construction — who knows what it feels like to have sawdust in your hair and calluses on your palms. I think in terms of foundations and load-bearing walls.

And I wrote a 500+ page novel about the end of the world.

My Faith Story

I grew up in a loving family, yet I didn't feel loved. I raged. I hated. I was violent. And at the same time, deeply empathetic. I had nightmares constantly — I was convinced demons were haunting me. I believed God existed, but only because the demons seemed real. If the darkness was real, the light had to be too. But I didn't think the light cared about me.

Then my grandfather died. The one person I felt truly saw me. I was devastated. And in that devastation, I spoke my first real prayer — alone, to the wind: "God, if you're real, show me."

That night, my nightmares stopped. Replaced by a recurring dream that lasted two weeks: a dilapidated castle with massive gates. A man standing outside, knocking. The gates had no handle on the outside. The only way to open them was from the inside — where I stood.

It took me two weeks to realize the man was Jesus. I was eleven years old, standing in my bathroom, when it hit me. I fell to my knees and cried. I asked God to come in. And something hard fell from my eyes and hit the floor. I groped around trying to find it, but couldn't. Years later, reading about Saul's conversion in Acts 9, I understood — I too had scales in my eyes.

Since that moment, I have known God is true, just, faithful, and good. He is for me and not against me. I haven't always followed Him perfectly. But I follow Him now with my whole heart.

My Family

I'm 37. I have a wife, a 13-year-old son, a dog, and a house. We belong to a church and try to support it in multiple ways. We're working toward God's purposes for our lives — together.

My son knows what I believe. He's heard me talk about the end times more than he probably wants to. But if something happens and I'm gone tomorrow, he won't be confused. He'll know exactly what's happening and what to do.

Why This Book

I've felt for a long time that I was called to be a prophet — not in the dramatic, robe-wearing way, but in the sense that I have something I must speak. For years I didn't know what it was. I wrote other books — history, biography, religious works under different pen names. But they all danced around this one. This is what they all wanted to be.

God is the master Weaver. Everything I've learned and studied and done over the years led to the culmination of Surviving the Antichrist. This book is my warning to those alive before the rapture and my help to those who will be left on this earth after it.

This one has the power to really be a difference maker.
