Born the middle child in a midwestern state, to a middle class family. Graduate of Lake Forest College. Graduated on the Dean's list. Law school for one year. Left when I found out what the profession was really about. Entered professional sales, became VP Sales, two companies; then  President and CEO of three others. My current and past passion is writing. All forms of writing. I try to test myself constantly... I write fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and song lyrics.I try to write every day, and I try to maintain worklines in at least two or three books at once...It's really good for the brain. Oh, and I also write some assignments for my tutoring students. I live on 13 acres in Tennessee, in an extremely small house, high on a big hill, overlooking my own private waterfall. Neighbors include 37 deer, 24 wild turkeys, four foxes, four skunks, three opossums, eight raccoons,eight kittens,and numerous copperheads, and  also some very nice and super friendly folks...My motivation for writing has always come from inspiration, truth, honor and beauty. I believe the world is beautiful and we all just need to take a closer look to see it all.But the best motivation for all writing is Love. Pure, sweet, simple, wondrous Love...The greatest gift from God...LOVE...

Two wonderful sons, four darlin' grandbabies, six poetry awards, five Editor's Choice Awards, countless sales achievement awards, sales technique clinics, Sales Training Master. I have been blessed, indeed...

Tutor for Joppa Elementary School
I love the time I am able to be with the youngsters! They are like little pieces of extremely beautiful clay, and when their eyes flash with that "I've got it!" look, well it's an amazing feeling!
