I am graduate of Saint Joseph's University in Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and and Graduate's Degree in Management Information Systems. Despite my business slant, my true love centers around reading and writing. Poetry helped me understand what life is all about and eventually led me to pen Refill For Life. Now I look to advance my writing in the future. As Henry David Thoreau once said, "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours". I await this time.

Editor's Award for poem "Continuous Shadows" published in the Best Poems and Poets of 2002.
