: About Me

Writing has always been a pet mad passion of mine. I stopped writng for a number of years, feeling that my well had run dry. I guess I just needed to drill a little deeper.

My parents always told me ...

My best moment ...

every morning I come home from work and my little girl wraps her little arms around my leg and says "I love you daddy."

My inspiration ...

Jesus the Christ, my Lord and Savior, & my eccentric (weird says the Mrs.) imagination
