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.
Just because it may help to know. I'm A-D/HD, dyslexic, and as a child, my mom was told by educators, "The best you can hope for is marginally functional." I have two master's degrees; I'm working on a third and a PhD. The point being that attitude and desire are important. A doctor told my mom, with regards to me, “He is not going to do much in sports and physical education is going to be difficult." Check out my achievements. Am I bragging, some, but the real point is that attitude and desire create success and that is up to you. The choice is ours-every day, day after day. The Trinity is/are my best companion. (300.14) DID don't you love it! Dr. Hill, Millersville, University, PA would be proud of me-I remembered. Hees a fantastic professor!
Birth Place: Lewiston, ME
Accomplishments: 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.
