I started writing here in 2007. Faith, fathers, wild country, and the trouble men get into trying to find their place. Most of it was written in Colorado Springs, where I helped start Training Ground, a wilderness discipleship program that's still running. In 2009 I started Buffalo Jackson Trading Co., a leather goods and outerwear company. We're based in Matthews, North Carolina now, five of us, still building bags and jackets meant to outlast the people who buy them. I've written two books, Untamed and Sweat, Blood & Tears. Different work than what's on this blog. Same question underneath it. More at buffalojackson.com/pages/xan-hood
