These books represent selected works from a broader body of writing shaped by leadership, service, reflection, and lived experience. Together, they explore how character is formed, how judgment is exercised under pressure, and how meaning emerges through responsibility.

Each work approaches these themes from a different vantage point—symbolic, narrative, and practical—inviting readers to engage not only with ideas, but with the disciplines that give them weight.

Leadership: Texas Hold ’Em Style

A practical examination of leadership under pressure, using poker as a metaphor for judgment, restraint, timing, and ethical decision-making when outcomes are uncertain.

These works are written for readers who value reflection grounded in experience—and for leaders who understand that ideas matter most when they are lived.

Books and essays on leadership, character, Freemasonry, and lived experience.
