Things are ramping up on the book front as the release of FINDING ULTRA quickly approaches. The positive reviews have begun to flow in and the marketing campaign has (unbelievably) already begun, even though the tome doesn't drop until May. Why? If you read my previous post announcing the availability of pre-orders on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes, then you

So this is pretty insane. And quite honestly, surreal. Almost embarrassing, in fact.
I am very honored to be the subject of a cover profile in the upcoming issue 06 of 3/GO Magazine, hitting shelves around February 7.

Wanted to share a gallery of some pretty stunning images taken by Julie on Day 1 of Ultraman. Given that she had her hands full trying to take care of me, it's amazing she was able to take any pictures at all, let alone images of such high quality. The consummate artist -- irrespective of medium -- Julie always makes

They say the best way to make God laugh is to tell him what your plans are. I got a full dose today.

Aloha! It's been quite a while since I did a little video update so thought I'd throw up a quick one from this morning. I'm going to try to be more regular with the videos if I have the time, so stay tuned.

Thought I would check in from the Big Island and give an update on all the goings on leading up to Ultraman this weekend.
I arrived in Hawaii this past Monday and settled into the most lush accommodations imaginable. Thanks to my local buddies Mike Field and Todd Clark, and courtesy of the gracious Seth Koppes, I have been staying in
