My childhood experiences on a dairy farm in MN has influenced and inspired the way I think, feel and approach my writing.  Much of what I come to know is in relation to cows and learning to imagine, dream and explore through the eyes and minds of children.  Hard work and dedication is one of the most valuable gifts life on the farm has given me well into my adult life.  I stay committed to my family, work and give back to those who have given to me.
