I am Metis, having Native American and European heritage. Even though I wasn't clear about my Native American heritage as a child, I always felt the call to walk the Red Road. As I became an adult, the passion to follow the ways of my people grew stronger. This journey has led me to help manage an on-line Native American community and to co-write a children's book with Corinne Mustafa. The Creation of this book was done over the telephone and on-line Instant Messenger. I still live in Maine, married for twenty-four years, two children and four grandchildren. My family and friends have played a major part in my decision to co-write a book. They have all been very supportive.

I home-schooled my two children from fifth grade right up until they graduated with a 3.70 GPA. This was very rewarding and a great achievement in my life. I've taken a few counseling classes and I enrolled as a college student in September of 2005. My most recent achievement was the publication of a book that I co-wrote with Corinne Mustafa called Lessons of Honor and Wisdom: Old Testament Stories as Seen Through the Eyes of a Native American Grandfather.
