: About Me

My writing has evolved from privately keeping journals of vacations, special events and emotions to writing articles and stories for public consumption.

These paths I have taken during my life have given me insight into humanity,employment situations, and how we all interact with each other.

My writing comes from my personal experiences and from those around me I have learned from. I believe knowledge is a never ending quest and for those that use that knowledge, life can be grand.
