Author • Storyteller • Podcast Host
Honest conversations about recovery, relationships, horses, and the lifelong process of learning to understand ourselves.
_______________________________
For a long time I believed things about myself that weren’t true.
Those beliefs shaped my life in ways I didn’t understand until much later.
Recovery, therapy, marriage, and life inside the horse world eventually taught me something important:
The way we see ourselves isn’t fixed.
_______________________________________________
With honesty, self-awareness, and the right help, those beliefs can change.
And when they do, life stops being something to endure and becomes something to embrace.
BOOKS
Stories about life in the horse/veterinary world, recovery, therapy, and lessons learned along the way. And some science fiction, just for fun!
Podcast Conversations
I’ve appeared on over 100 podcasts and radio shows discussing addiction recovery, trauma, leadership, horses, and the process of personal growth.
My Podcast
My amazing wife, Dr. Erica Lacher, and I started Straight from the Horse Doctor’s Mouth in 2017 to teach horse owners more about horse health, and we’re still going strong.
Adventures of the Horse Doctor’s Husband Series
A behind-the-scenes look at life in a rural equine veterinary practice — told with humor, honesty, and a deep love for the horses and people who make up this world.
What started as stories from the clinic grew into a series that horse owners, veterinarians, and animal lovers around the world have come to love.
Books in the series:
• Adventures of the Horse Doctor’s Husband
• More Adventures of the Horse Doctor’s Husband
• Adventures of the Horse Doctor’s Husband 3
