About the Author
Builder. Steward. Dominion.
Working since age twelve. Corn fields, construction, roofing, welding, aviation, airline maintenance. Graduated number one in his aviation class. Built flight simulators for the US Military and British Airways. Ran thirty-plus hours of overtime every week at Delta Air Lines like it was a normal Tuesday.
Then back injuries. Three surgeries. Long-term disability just shy of five years at Delta. Twenty years on disability. Ten years of OxyContin. Six years of Percocet. Sixteen years of opioids managing the pain and the ambition simultaneously.
The system assigned the identity: disabled. He accepted it. Until he didn't.
Twenty years on disability was the wilderness — the midbar. The Hebrew word that pictures the journey from chaos, through a door, into a house, to authority.
During those twenty years, the body was broken but the mind never stopped. Electronics repair. Aquaponics. Coding. Woodworking. Horse training. Gardening. Flight simulation engineering. Twenty-plus skills learned while the world said he was finished.
The roots were growing underground while the surface looked dead.
Lost 182 pounds through discipline alone — 362 to 180 — no surgery, no program, no shortcut. Diet. Decision. Discipline.
Quit smoking after 48 years and two-plus packs a day. Cold. No patches. No gum. No taper. Decision.
Forty years of marriage. Three children. Two grandchildren. Ordained minister.
Current training in compliance, SOPs, and workflows — the exact operational infrastructure this series teaches.
The Dominion Series exists because the lessons that took twenty years to learn shouldn't take you twenty years to find.
This is not a memoir. This is a roadmap — built on scripture, tested in the wilderness, and designed for builders who are done standing in the pasture. The author's story appears where it proves a point. The teaching is for everyone.
"I am not what happened to me. I am what God called me. I am a builder. I am a steward. I walk in dominion."
The series-spanning case study is the author's own cleaning business — a contract for a major retailer's Southeast US distribution center. 80,000 square feet of VCT. 52,000 square feet of carpet. A warehouse half a mile long by a quarter-mile wide.
That contract was the Promised Land. And every mistake that killed it — comfort, lack of systems, luck-thinking, helplessness, security-worship, bad counsel — becomes a teaching moment that runs through all six books. The cleaning business thread shows what lost dominion looks like in practice, and what reclaimed dominion can build.
Every book in The Dominion Series is designed to be an income-producing asset — something people want to read, use, change their mindset with, develop a close walk with God through, and act on.
Blue-collar. Contrarian. Conservative. Scripturally grounded. Builder-to-builders.
Not anti-seminary. Corrective where seminary has inherited blind spots. The Word of God is perfect. Our translations and traditions are not.
