I have been writing for over thirty-five years and have tried most genres. I find poetry and the short story to be my main format, although I do like to write philosophical/topical essays from time to time. I have been published, but that was so long ago I doubt anything is any longer in print. And, that which is, has long sense disappeared beneath its dust cover. I have been writing “silently” now for over twenty years and I figure it is time to reemerge from time's lost closet. My poetry is eclectic and deals with many concepts/ideas in, of, and about the journey of life. The short stories tend to be egocentric, but not exclusively so. Most of my essays fall into the metaphysical and philosophical realm and typically are very optimistic about man’s/woman’s relationship to ourselves; his/her fellows; the earth and our journey to life everlasting. I have, however, been known to dwell on language, communications, learning and the realm of theoretical physics.

In the world of writing my achievements are yet to be, if at all. God has given me the ability to teach and to love all that goes with it. I have had numerous awards in the field including being honored three times in "Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers" (student oriented, colleague approved). I do feel blessed. I was a world class trampolinist and nationally ranked springboard diver. I'm also a juried woodcarver.

I have taught writing at all levels. I have taught junior and senior high school, college, community college and in the military. I have worked with children as young as five to the sharp age of sixty-five. They have taught me more about myself and life than any of my degrees. I also own and operate a personal writing consultant agency. We aid in developing one's personal ideas into poems, lyrics, essays, short stories, and concept books.
