Many influences over my life.  Love poetry, works related to understanding the mind-body connection esp. as it concerns the energy within and around us.  My worldview has been influenced by violence and love... but mostly love.    Have studied business and sociology over the years and have a good understanding of human behavior, which helps me to guide my own.   I still find new and exciting opportunities to explore emotions and the light within people, which greatly directs human behavior.  Have a huge love for pets, especially dogs, cats, and horses. Greatest Influences: Jesus Christ My Mom and Dad Bruce Lee Gandhi Mother Therese My nephews/niece: Alex, Corey, Thomas and Therese My karate instructors:   Richard Braconi, Blaine Elmer, and Richard Hahn

Bachelor of Science (awarded recognition as a Rider Scholor in my Junior year) -- earned by baccalaureate while going to school at night, working full time, tutoring an adult in basic literacy, and attending/teaching at a karate school (karate being a generic term -- our style is based on the "way of the sphere"). Loved assisting in women's and children's self-defense classes, which were an add-on to our regular karate classes.

Certified in Microsoft Office Suite

Generally love creative writing. Some of my best friends like to tell me that I write better than I speak.
