I grew up in New Mexico and California. Have traveled exptensively in my life: 49 states in the US, and many times in Asia, Egypt, Europe and Canada. Presently, I work at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, the world's premier holistic learning center. My publication history 3 books, two as illustrated poetry books and one as a book on Reiki.

As a poet my primary influence is from the Beat generation/Ginsberg/Corso/etc, including some lesser know poets who I have shared the stage with in open mics around the country, such as Ramu Aki, Donita Parish and Aja Monet.
