An Otherwise ​Healthy Person

NOW AVAILABLE! An Otherwise Healthy Person is the ​memoir of a United States Marine Corps combat veteran; the ​battles he faced in Iraq and the unexpected battles he faced ​upon returning home. Click the link below to order!

About An ​Otherwise Healthy ​Person

Through a series of short stories and vignettes, follow the journey of a ​young Marine squad leader as he leads thirteen men through intense, ​confusing, and deadly battles in and around Fallujah during a time when ​local tribes first began to turn against the Al Qaeda-backed insurgency. ​After surviving the war abroad, he returns home, assuming the fight is ​over, only to realize that the battle for his heart and soul is only just ​beginning.


Both harrowing and heart-warming (and at times even hilarious), An ​Otherwise Healthy Person gives a first-person account of the reality of war, ​the cost of love, and hope for what can happen through true surrender.

What The Readers Are Saying

“Moral of the story: You cannot hide ​from yourself or your feelings ​forever. No matter how hard you try. ​Both funny and heartwarming.”

“We Americans need to know ​these stories. This is a book about a ​life I’ve not lived, yet one I am very ​grateful for.”

“Seriously brilliant. I laughed out ​loud, pondered with a heavy heart, ​and was left wanting to keep ​reading.”
