: About Me

There is not a lot to tell you. I am a freelance writer and photographer. I am also a stay at home Dad. I love what I do and wish everyone could experiance the joy of spending ypour day with your child and choosing to work when you want and on what you want.

I am a retired Fire Fighter and EMT-I. I still take pictures of fires, car accidents and other emergancies and give the images to the department involved. Often they can learn from them and see what I see from the outside looking in.
