About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a writer. Life is stuff for writing.

ABOUT ME

I love experience but I keep pretty quiet, a writer's life. I just published my first book of fiction and I'm planning some traveling I hope in the not too distant future. It gets harder these days with bills and resumes and staying ahead in my job. But you gotta live too, right?

PHILOSOPHY

Out of struggle comes peace. Take the long and winding road. Don't ask me to be upbeat! The world needs downers too you know.
