His short story about alienation, entitled "Flight of Fancy," received national recognition from Writer's Digest. He received a similar accolade from Writer's Digest for an essay entitled, "Baby Boomers at Mid-life: Coming of Age Revisited." And again in 2009, Writer's Digest recognized his magazine feature article entitled, "On Dad's Passing." He contributes to national online media such as Huffington Post; and his blog Boomers: A Trip into the Heart of the Baby Boomer Generation (http: //boomers.typepad.com) achieves top search-engine performance for many online queries about the Boomer generation. An unpublished early version of Noble Chaos received a literary award for historical fiction from Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers in the organization's Colorado Gold writing competition.
