I build software for reading, writing, and deciding what comes next. I also write about story and generosity.

Oklahoma Hail is the name I put on this work.

Writing studio

Inkwell

Beta

Open to use

The Location Conflict finding on a phone, with its suggestion and links to Chapter 1.

A writing studio for long manuscripts. It keeps the story’s timeline and characters beside the draft and checks them for contradictions, like one character in two places at once.

The same passage on a phone with the Greek under each verse.

A Bible reader that puts the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek under the English, word by word, and shows the evidence behind each link.

Fundraising software I built for Track15. It turns client data into one ranked list of next actions, each with the numbers behind it.

Listening assistant

Vantage

In Development

Private · shown here only

A podcast app that decides what to play next from rules you set. You can add a rule by saying it in plain words.

Vantage’s queue on a phone, with the why-lines “boosted +100” and “starred” under the first three episodes.

Shown with Vantage’s own test shows, not my listening.

Reflection

Margin

Live

Open to use

A reflection app. One short reading and one question at a time, and the next entry opens only when you finish this one.

The Story That Built You

Long before you tell stories to anyone else, one story has already been telling you. We rarely notice it. We just call it “who I am.”

Story vs. Messaging

Most of what gets called “brand storytelling” is messaging wearing a story’s clothes. The difference is not stylistic. It’s structural, and it’s why so little of it lands.

Meaning Before Influence

The storytelling industry sells influence. But influence is a byproduct, not a purpose. Optimize for it directly and you usually lose both.

Contributing editor

Speaking Engagement

As a contributing editor, I write about fundraising, storytelling, higher-education advancement, and where generosity is headed.
