I am excited to share something that has been quietly growing in my heart for many years. After months of writing, rewriting, praying, reflecting on our family story, and gathering the lessons the Lord has taught me as a father and grandfather, my next book is finally done. Blue Chip: Raising Financially Smart Kids has now entered the editing stage. Once editing is finished, it moves to layout, then to the printer. God willing, you can expect it to be available toward the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Writing this book has been one of the most personal projects of my life. It is not simply a book about money. It is a book about parenting. It is a book about faith. It is a book about legacy. And more than anything, it is a book about the grace of God that transformed our home and shaped the lives of our children.

When I first became a father, I did not have a deep understanding of stewardship. My early decisions were shaped by pressure, culture, and emotion. But when I met Jesus at forty, everything changed. The Word of God reshaped my thinking. Little by little, our family learned what it means to manage God’s resources, make wise decisions, build habits, and raise children who understand both discipline and dependence on God.

This book comes from that journey. It is filled with stories of laughter, mistakes, breakthroughs, and the conversations that shaped our children into the adults they are today. It is filled with lessons that Mia and I learned the hard way, hoping that other parents can learn them the easier way. It is filled with practical tools for parents who want to raise children who are not consumed by the culture but guided by wisdom.

More importantly, this book is filled with hope. Parenting can be overwhelming. Teaching kids about money can be confusing. But the good news is this: you do not need to be a financial expert to raise financially wise children. You only need to be faithful, intentional, loving, and willing to grow with your kids.

Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” This truth has shaped our family. You do not shape your children’s future in one moment, but over many small, intentional ones. Every conversation, every example, every decision becomes a seed.

And God is faithful to grow the seeds we plant.

Blue Chip teaches parents how to guide children toward wisdom in a world filled with distractions. It covers values, habits, conversations, discipline, generosity, stewardship, and the gospel that anchors everything. It is my prayer that this book becomes a companion for families who want to raise children who will carry faith, wisdom, and strong foundations into the next generation.

As we prepare the manuscript for layout and printing, my heart is full of gratitude. I pray it encourages, equips, and strengthens you as a parent. I pray it reminds you that it is never too early to teach wisdom and never too late to build legacy. And I pray it gives you confidence that God can do extraordinary things in your home.

Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord.” That means they are a trust, a gift, and a calling. And by His grace, we can raise them well.

Thank you for journeying with me. I cannot wait to place this book in your hands soon.
