Have been an active reader all my life and have been transported all over the world through literature. Mitchner, Follett, Joaquin Miller, Baldacci, Preston-Childs,McMurtry and Hillerman to name a few. Having read the best the world has to offer and also some of the worst I decided that I had a story or two to tell. Having been a cowboy (Still am), a bull and bareback rider,  a logging truck driver, Fuel tanker driver, a  working manager  in the Oil Patch, Corporate America, Music Industry, and the Railroad. Besides kayaking ,flyfishing and hunting both animals and gold across America I have a treasure trove of memories to reach into for my stories.
