ABOUT THE MORMON MANN
My journey began with a desire to feast upon the words of Christ and search the scriptures for myself. That desire led me to investigate more than 80 of Joseph Smith's teachings and to explore the geographical clues in the Book of Mormon.
Learn more about my journey, the books I've written, and how these investigations began.
Why I Created The Mormon Mann
After years of researching Joseph Smith's teachings and writing books, I felt inspired to share this work through social media. But how do I turn books into videos?
That's where my family stepped in. My son Tyler, my daughter Kristina, and my daughter-in-law Rachael—all with film-production degrees—helped me develop my studio and bring the idea to life. They even bought me the lighting equipment to get started.
They also told me I needed something memorable: a name, a recognizable identity, and a way to make the message stand out. That's how The Mormon Mann began.
This website brings together the investigations, books, and videos that grew from that effort.
Every investigation has a beginning. Discover how two very different paths of research led to the Joseph Smith and the Bible series and the Big Picture of the Book of Mormon.
