: About Me

I work for a private corporation that provides leadership training to a variety of organizations, including government agencies, private companies and non-profit organizations. I specialize in areas dealing with Critical Incident Stress, providing debriefings in the midst of serious accidents and workplace trauma.

I am able to travel to some of the most beautiful locations that a writer could hope for, as a regular part of my work.

Living in Oregon only makes that opportunity nicer as there is so much beauty here. In an hour or two I can be at the ocean, climb a rugged mountain in the Cascades, or meander along the streets of Ashland, on a warm summer evening.

My passion is ...

writing to touch a person's life.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer.

Why I write ...

enter another part of myself.

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

is enjoyed at many levels depending on who I am with.
