Hi. I'm a lot of Irish and a little Amish. I'm one of those conservative right wing Christians and used to taking flack for that. But it only makes me stronger. I'm from the mountains of Montana to the deserts of Washington... I've been up and down the spectrum of life. Its a huge, happy, sad, crazy  kick in the butt. I married my high school sweetheart and we have two talented daughters in college. I currently teach high school and middle school so I'm on the front lines almost every day. Life in all forms is passing right before my eyes at the speed of... well... Life! I can't help but write about it. In an insane and idiotic liberal world... I wish you all a stable foundation and His ( <>< ) perfect love and peace.

I am an 8 second extra in Spielberg's movie "Always". I love to write poetry and stories and I am published in "Chicken Soup for the Grandparent's Soul" on page 107,108 and 345. Published by Health Communications, INC. I was also chosen as one of the top ten poets for Fall 2002 in a book called "Celebrate! Poets Speak Out". (Published by Creative Communication, INC.) I have been "Teacher of the Year" a couple of times too and I am mentioned various times in "Who's Who Among America's Teachers". My lates book is called "The Blessing of a Grandfather's Love". It's cute! Its on Amazon.comn and in Hastings, Barns and Noble, etc... Cheack it out.

I read The Bible, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King, Robert Jordan, David Brin, Robib Hobb, Terry Pratchett, L.E. Modesitt Jr., J.V. Jones, Robert Silverberg, Tom Dietz, Dennis L. McKiernan, George R.R. Martin, and so many more...
