Those who know me well know I love to write. Most recently my writing has taken a stab at fiction with my first novel - OCULUS: The Zebulon Initiative. It is a fun and intriguing mix of science fiction and historical fiction with enough fact thrown in to cause the reader to wonder if it just might be more fact than fiction.
As my youngest son Daniel was preparing for his LDS mission to Peru, I promised to write a book for him. That book - COMPARE ISAIAH: Understanding Bibilcal Scriptures In The Book Of Mormon - was my attempt to show him that every single word in the Book of Mormon was valuable. To that end I picked what for most is the least interesting part in the book. I chose to write a book about the Isaiah scriptures in the Book of Mormon and also the other biblical passages - Malachi and Matthew. What resulted was a fascinating book about not only what the biblical scriptures say but perhaps more interestingly, why the Book of Mormon writers felt the need to include, in their sacred records, words that were readily available in the Bible.
I am married to a wonderful lady, Peggy Jo Wright from Rialto California. We have been married for over 39 years. Our current home is in Henderson, Nevada. We have lived here for almost fourteen years now. However, we just accomplished a (nearly) lifelong goal to return to the Sun Valley area, specifically Hailey, Idaho where we now have a lovely townhome that we both hope will one day become our primary residence.
This new home will allow me to more fully indulge my passion for all things outdoors, including Fly Fishing which I love with a passion. I will regularly post photos of my fishing success as time goes on.
Another great joy in our lives (Indeed, our greatest joys) are our four wonderful children, all grown and married now.
The oldest is Jason and his bride Stephanie. Jason works for Sprint as a project manager and Stephanie works for the Red Lion Hotel chain as an HR manager.
Next comes Shannon and her husband Nathan. Nate has a budding construction business in Las Vegas so I think they will be there for the duration. They have three darling children, two girls - Makayla and Chyler, and a fun little boy named Radyn.
My third child and second son David followed his dad's footsteps and is also a pilot. He has taken the corporate route and is the chief pilot for some local businessmen in Las Vegas. He and his lovely bride Garrettson have four rambunctious but wonderful boys, Thomas, Chase, Hayden and Logan.
Lastly is my third son Daniel, the inspiration for my book 'Compare Isaiah". He is married to the lovely and talented Danielle and they have one cute little daughter Riley. Dan is in his last year of undergrad at UNLV and he plans to continue his studies to become an Orthodontist.
