: About Me

I earned an AA degree in Pre-Journalism at Miami-Dade Jr. College in 1972 and wandered through life until I earned a BA in Mass Communications at The University of North Florida in 1988. However, the opportunities in life have, for the most part, taken me away from writing. I want to come back.

I am happily married thirty years now with three great kids and a couple of "ok" cats. This family experience has been my greatest teacher.

My passion is ...

my family.

I know too much about ...

very little.

My parents always told me ...

to work hard and be honest.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be President of the United States or Superman.

My favorite memory ...

is camping with family in the the Smokey Mountains.

Why I write ...

still puzzles me.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

enlightens, entertains and relaxes me.

My first job ...

was mowing lawns for family and neighbors.

My best moment ...

hasn't happened yet.

My inspiration ...

is God and all His creation.
