: About Me

My passion is ...

The same as most men-food, sleep and sex. Not necessarily in that order. Actually it is my beautiful children.

I know too much about ...

How to feed my demons.

My parents always told me ...

Go outside and play!

My childhood ambition ...

To be a famous author.

My favorite memory ...

The collective births of my kids.

Why I write ...

It helps me to process and understand my life and to make it all seem relevant and important.

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

Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

My first job ...

Machine operator at a hellish brass shop. One day it will provide inspiration for a child labor abuse screenplay.

My best moment ...

The day I told my mom that I love her. This was later in my life and though I have not been able to do it since, that moment released me from many leftover feelings from a complicated childhood.

My inspiration ...

My dad has always been there for me, even when I have disappeared.
