Who Am I

I am a father, husband, worker, traveler, philosopher, lifelong learner, and poet who believes that you can do anything you put your mind to. I am a lover of freedom, a respecter of life, an eclectic dreamer, and eternal optimist.

My Story

I grew up in a family full of love, patience and discipline. Taught to respect everyone and fear nothing save God. We learned to judge everyone by their actions and integrity, but never by skin color or appearance. Never be afraid to work for a living, never do anything you aren’t willing to sign your name to, and never take what you haven’t earned.

I have been a construction worker, laborer, truck driver, insurance processor, school teacher, merchant marine and computer programmer. I began writing as a teenager to express my thoughts and emotions.  I wrote poetry, song lyrics, and prose as stream of thought or commentary. I write for me and hope others find something enjoyable or useful but ultimately I write because it is part of who I am.
