: About Me

I can't remember a time when I didn't feel the need to write.

My desire to pursue the written word has constantly bubbled to the surface of my life. Because of this persistence, my education now includes a Certificate in Journalism and a Diploma in Associate English and Communications, plus a number of freelance article and creative writing courses.

During my early years, I worked at a Television Network in the Staging and Design department, where I was part of a professional creative process that only added to my writing expectations. Before my television work, I made my living in a professional rock n' roll band as a guitarist/singer, another bonus to understanding the foundations of creativity.

After many years of marriage, I now find myself on my own once again. The need to write has totally consumed me, and I look forward to years of successful and productive writing experiences.
