​Welcome to my website.  I hope that you will browse your way through, have fun, and enjoy. Please feel free to post comments in the blog section.  I will be writing blogs as much as possible to keep you entertained.

     In 1977 when I was nine years old my brother- in- law at the time gave me my first guitar.  It was a 1975 Kay guitar. I still have it to this day.  I played it for a couple of weeks and being nine years of age of course, I tossed it in the back of my closet and it lived there until I was fifteen.  One boring rainy day I dug it out, began playing it, and actually became quite good.  Within six months, I bought an electric guitar and I thought I was a Rock Star.  I began learning chords from a chord chart that I bought from a local music store. I learned the chords and began writing songs from those chords. A few months went by and I noticed I could write nice lyrics that fit with these chords that I had practiced until my fingers blistered.  Ever since then at the ripe old age of fifteen, I have been writing and playing guitar.  One-thousand poems and a book later led me to the summer of 2010, the year I turned 42.  My girlfriend mentioned to me one evening that I should try to publish some of my work, particularly my poetry.  I thought about it and did just that.  Years have passed and now I’ve been published in several magazines and journals, have had two novels published, a third on the way, two books of poetry, and am currently working on a book of short stories.
