THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INFLUNCNCES THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, FROM PEOPLE I HAVE MET AND THE MANY OTHERS I WORKED WITH. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD LISTENER DURING TIMES OF COMNFRONTATION, AND ALWAYS THOUGHT EVERYTHING THROUGH MANY TIMES AFTERWARDS FROM HOPING TO SEE THE THINGS I MAY HAVE MISSED. I BELEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE SO MANY INSPIRATIONS FOR MY STORIES. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY, THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, I ONCE TOOK A JOB AS A SALESMAN FOR A NATIONAL COMPANY, AND WITHIN A YEAR ENDED UP MANAGING A BRANCH OFFICE. I HAVE EVEN SPENT 17 YEARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THIS IS WHERE MANY OF MY INSPIRATIONS COME FROM FOR A NUMBER OF THE STORIES I PLAN TO WRITE.. IN ALL AT THIS TIME I HAVE 14 DIFFERENT STORIES I WANT TO TELL, AND I'M SURE MANY MORE WILL COME TO MIND AS I WRITE THESE. TO NAME JUST A FEW, THERE ARE: 'A POISONED PRINCESS' WHICH IS ABOUT A FEMALE HIT WOMAN. THIS STORY WAS ACTUALLY INSPIRED BY MY LITTLE SISTER ALLYSON.  'CHASING DESTINY' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY THE TIME I SPENT GROWING UP IN A SMALL SOUTHERN NOVA SCOTIA FISHING VILLAGE. 'WHO'S SORRY NOW' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY BY A MURDER / SUCIDE I WAS ONCE INVOLVED IN INVESTIGATING. 'THE LONG WAY HOME' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY MY TIME GROWING UP IN WEYMOUTH MASS. 'HURT SO BAD' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP I DELT WITH TOO MANY TIMES WHILE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. 'THE RUMRUNNERS SON' WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY STORIES I HEARD WHILE GROWING UP.. 'TAMING HELFIRE' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY SOME OF THOSE WHO WENT TO THE OILFIELDS IN SEARCH OF WORK. 'LITTLE DRUMMER BOY' WHICH IS INSPIRED BY ONE YOUNG MANS QUEST TO MAKE IT BIG IN THE MUSIC INDUSTERY. 'BORN MAFIA' AGAIN INSPIRED BY MY TIME GROWING UP IN WEYMOUTH MASS. AND  'THE GREEN FIELDS' TO NAME JUST A FEW OF THE STORIES I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A LARGE ARRAY OF SUBJECTS I PLAN ON WRITING ABOUT.

I HAVE DIFFERENT AWARDS FROM BOTH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW HONORABLE MENTIONS IN BUSINESS.
