: About Me

I'd like to think of myself as a writer - I enjoy many aspects of life and hope to continue to write about areas and interests that can bring pause and serenity into people's worlds.

I have a strong spiritual base that allows me to find peace in my own daily life. I have been in recovery for many years from various addictions, primarily alcohol and gambling.

I have a lovely family, wife of nearly 20 years, and two beautiful children, a daughter 17 and son 13. We also have two golden retrievers and a cat.

I hope to write on a number of different issues, primarily life's turns and twists.
