I come from a small town in the lovely Allegheny Hills of Warren,Pennsylvania. My ambition as a child was to Write, and I got that from my dear Mother. She entered a Sunny Gale, Song Contest when I was 9 years old, and the Song Company loved her Writing. I wrote little stories as a child, and even song lyrics. As I grew older, I kept that desire to Write and share my thoughts with people. My Mother Kathryn was my greatest influence. I come from an Italian-American Family with alot of Passion in their heart and souls for the Arts. Mom sang and danced on the Library Theatre Stage with a local Talent Scout Company. My Uncle Louie was a Play Director and had bit parts in the Movies in Hollywood. 

When I was 15, I won an Americanism Today and Tomorrow Award. Made a Radio Commercial for a Jewelry Company, when I was in my 40's. Had Family History Articles published in small, local magazines, and and had a story in the Looking Back Magazine in 2008. I have written a biography about my Mother, and wrote a song about her that was on a small company label, in California. She was in an auto accident and died in 1988, and I wrote a song: "Mama, I Miss You, In My Heart I Will Kiss You, For My Life That Goes On. I have Written for some small Catholic Newspapers and Pubications from 1997-2000.
