About Me

I’m the founder of Life Manifestos, a book writer for mission-driven leaders, lead generation website copywriter and architect, founding partner of The Center for Social Leadership, and the author of Uncommon Sense: A Common Citizen’s Guide to Rebuilding America.

I co-authored the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths that are Destroying Your Prosperity.

I’m also the co-author of Hub Mentality: Shifting from Business Transactions to Community Interactions.

A political independent and dedicated learner and promoter of personal, financial, and governmental freedom, I’m passionate about political philosophy, economics, history, personal finance, entrepreneurship, religion and spirituality, family, education and culture. (See my favorite books and movies.)

I’m a graduate of George Wythe University, where I was mentored by Oliver DeMille. I’ve also been privileged to be mentored by Steve D’Annunzio.

I’m also a graduate and faculty member of Wizard Academy, a “non-traditional business school” with an emphasis on the art and science of persuasive communication.

My gorgeous wife Karina and I homeschool our children, awesome son Alex, and princess daughters Libby, Avery, and Laela, in Texas. We blog about our magical life on Palmer Journeys.

I love rock climbing, canyoneering, reading, canyoneering, gardening, playing basketball, and spending time with my family.
