Hey, you found me!
This is mission control for everything I’m writing, filming, and shouting about: new books, live events, documentary premieres, videos, and the occasional unhinged Facebook rant.

My Father's War: Memories from Our Honored WWII Soldiers

A WWII veteran's son, believing his father had no stories to tell, uncovers a troubling past through old roll calls. These heartfelt interviews features 18 veterans from all U.S. military branches and both theaters of war reveal the raw, unfiltered realities of their lives during the conflict.

The Documentary

This documentary is not another battlefield recreation. It is nine intimate, unflinching portraits— some familiar faces weathered by time, voices cracking with memory as they sometimes stare into another time long ago—preserved so their children, grandchildren, and generations who will never meet them can look them in the eye and hear, in their own words, what it was really like. This is My Father’s War: the stories they carried home, the ones they almost took to their graves, and the promise that they will never be forgotten.
