In 1985 ; I began working for The Arlington Security Company  and  was recognized as Officer of the month. In addition , I  received a letter of commendation from State Senator Paul Pfeiffer as a tribute to my officer of the month award.

The following year I graduated from the Southern Ohio College one year private security program with a 4.0 grade point average. Mrs Mcfarland, my English teacher , was captivated with my writing skills and poetry; and she encouraged me to continue my education;  so I went on to Capital University ( a private university ) and majored in speech communications, and minored in philosophy for one and a half years.

I moved to Minneapolis Minnesota to hone my writing skills. And I began reciting my poetry in front on large audiences of  two to three hundren people for the Executive Director of the Plymouth Church Neighborhood Foundation Lee Blons in 2004.

I lived in Seattle Washington for five years and I plan to return to the Emerald City as soon as the opportunity present itself. I have written four books. My first two books, "Rhymes of the Times" and "Shedding Light" are purchasable via www.Amazon.com and www.boosurge.com and abebooks.com and www.alibriz.com and www.Amazon.co.uk
