: About Me

After graduating from Northern Illinois University in 2000 I accidentally fell into working in the health care field. The facility I work at specializes in Alzheimer's related conditions and dementia which has brought a deeper knowledge not only for the care of the elderly, but for life itself.

Also, I am addicted to self-help books and love to read autobiographies on interesting people.

My inspirations draw from a wide variety of authors: Maya Angelou, Walle Lamb, Jackie Collins, Danielle Steele, and William Shakespeare.

to become a writer and/or comedian.

Why I write ...

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

self-help books, fiction books, and biographies on interesting people. The only reality shows I am addicted to are "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares," other than that "Men in Trees." I listen to a wide variety of music.

My first job ...

was working at a college bookstore as a cashier.

My best moment ...

was during college graduation exercises when I saw the American Flag, it brought tears to my eyes.
