Hi and thanks for checking out my Author Page. I have been writing stories for many years and this is the first time I have been bold enough to see a project through to publication. As for my working career, it is eclectic and wide ranging. From working in the Hospitality Industry since age 14, the United States Postal Service, a professional painter, owned an auto detailing service, mortgage industry, signage industry, and even health services. Now, I am just a dog dad, house husband, and writer.

I got into writing stories and journaling in college as a way to relieve stress and put my imagination to work. Figured it would come in handy some day when I retire and have more time to write. I changed my mind and that time was now.

Now, as a multi-award winning and critically acclaimed writer, my style is not to be literary, but to tell stories in the only way that I can. They come with humor, some sadness, they may address a social concern and all of them have a lesson to be learned. The day that I always hope for will be a stranger telling me that one of my stories made a difference in their life or reminded them of a good time they had in the past.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you like my stories too.
