I left Wittenberg University with the intent on becoming a reporter and short story writer. After 6 months of striking out and not being able to afford free water I left the world of writing with the intent to come back. 25 Years later I did.
47 years of observing people and the ups and downs of my own life are my greatest personal influences.
