Love Across Borders
Title: Love Across Borders
COMING SOON: A Story of Love, Loss & Second Chances
They say you only get one great love.
I thought mine was behind me.
After losing my first wife, I didn’t expect to find love again—especially not halfway around the world. But what started as a conversation became a connection. And that connection turned into something real. Not fast. Not flashy. Just real.
This book is about that journey.
It’s about rebuilding after devastating loss.
It’s about falling in love again in your fifties—across cultures, across continents.
It’s about visas, distance, long nights, and the courage to start over.
When our son was born, we made the decision to move to the Philippines—to raise him until school age in a setting where life felt simpler, fuller. We adjusted to a new culture. We met other expats. We lived with purpose, focused on what mattered most: family, good food, honest friendships, and freedom. Not a fantasy—just a better way of living, together.
And yes, there's been plenty of talk online about “passport bros.”
Technically, I fit the description. But this isn’t about escaping life—it’s about building one. With love, commitment, and faith as the foundation.
Love Across Borders is a story of second chances and choosing peace over chaos—half a world away.
You’re never too old to love again.
You’re never too far gone to rebuild.
And sometimes, your next chapter starts with a plane ticket—and a little faith.

They say love doesn’t knock twice…
But what if it calls you from halfway around the world?
Love Across Borders is the story I never thought I’d write — finding love again and starting over when most people think their story’s already been told.
This one’s real.
Living abroad, visas, cultural differences, expat life, retirement, money, age gaps, kids later in life — it’s all there.

“Second Chances Ain’t Just for the Young.”
After thirty years of marriage and a gut-wrenching loss, I found myself at a crossroads most men never plan for. Alone. Grieving. And wondering if love had passed me by.
This is the story of rebuilding — of starting over in a world that had moved on without me. From late-night conversations with friends to online dating profiles that made me question my own worth, I took a leap halfway around the world... and found something real.
From the U.S. to the Philippines, from heartbreak to healing, from Mr. Mom at 56 to raising a son with the woman I met across an ocean, this book lays it bare. The laughs, the culture shock, the visa chaos — and the decision to move abroad, where I found community, dealt with the pros and cons of expat life, traveled to some of the most beautiful islands in the world, and lived a dream I could never have reached back home.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late to live again — this story says: Hell no.
