The Line Maker: Live Intentionally. No Excuses.

Lines to Draw Upon During Times of Change

When Rick's life begins to unravel, he encounters a mysterious guide- with a canvas, a question, and a challenge he didn't see coming. What follows is a journey into the unexpected-where the simplest of shapes, a line, becomes a path to rediscover purpose, identity, and the power to turn change into choice. The Line Maker is a modern parable for anyone standing at a crossroads- whether you're leading yourself or others through a period of change. With vivid storytelling and unforgettable metaphors, it invites you to reflect, reframe, and redesign the life you're creating-one line at a time. Along the way, you'll encounter the lines that define every masterpiece- lines of intention, interpretation, and impact, each with the power to transform. If you're ready to stop drifting and start designing, this story offers more than insight. It offers a new way to live, lead and love-with intention, no excuses.

Praise For The Line Maker

"If you liked Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven, you are going to LOVE this book!"

-Davin Salvagno, Bestselling Author of Thieves of Purpose and Finding Purpose at Work

"The Line Maker is an instant classic! Powerful principles combined with a compelling story create space for the reader to experience true transformation. In the spirit of a great Og Mandino tale, The Line Maker will be read, reread, studied, and passed along for decades to come. This is inspired and inspiring!"

-Boyd C. Matheson, Former Radio/TV Host and International Business Strategist

"As a professional artist with over thirty years of experience, I've learned that dreams rarely come easily-but unwavering commitment, determination and perseverance can turn ambition into reality. The Line Maker illustrates that every small, intentional line becomes part of a greater masterpiece-the art of life and leadership itself. Never shackle your own feet. Never stop reaching for what seems impossible."

-Joel Christopher Payne, Disney Interpretive Gallery Artist

"There's an art to winning. As an NFL quarterback, I've lived at the line of scrimmage-where expectation meets resistance and nothing moves unless you do. The Line Maker shows what it really takes to drive toward the goal line of success: intention, execution, and the vision to find opportunity when others swear it isn't there."

-Luke Falk, NFL Quarterback and PAC-12 Record Holder
