Born in Chicago and raised in California, I moved to Colorado in 2003 and haven’t looked back. I’ve been in 23 of the 50 states - Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan and Florida. Whew.

I have never been married, and have no kids. I play the guitar, preferring my accoustic Takamine, but I also have a hollow body Gibson that I treasure, and it sounds great when hooked up to my accoustic amp. I love music but, especially, the Blues - I have written a few songs that have impressed those around me. I enjoy playing for people who want to listen but I’m a bit too shy for large crowds (for now anyway) and prefer more intimate settings when I play.

My goal is to be a writer. I began in high school, crafting stores that were mostly fan fiction and typed up on a very old typewriter that would get jammed because I typed too fast for it to keep up with me. From there I upgraded to a slightly less old, yet still ancient electric typewriter, then to a word processor and finally to computers. The idea for The New Universe came to me early on and has always been present in the back of my minds eye - in short, everything I write is related; it all takes place in the same ‘universe’. I will share my stories from time to time in the new ‘Writing’ section of the site, but honestly what I really want is to be a published author. I work toward that goal each and every time I sit down at the keyboard and let my imagination wander…

My professional life is often odd and chaotic and I’m sure I’ll talk about it from time to time here. Basically, I’ve had so many different responsibilities over the years that I can pretty much do whatever needs to get done.
