Mick is a writer and developmental editor for Focus on the Family Resources. He also serves as acquisitions editor for marriage, and the small-but-promising, upcoming adult "family fiction" line. (See stores for details.)

He goes slightly ape-y without books and regular piano playing, so both are common fixtures in his Colorado Springs home, where he lives with his wife, Sheri, and 2-year-old princess, Elianna.
