I help stuff grow, like children, plants, laundry piles and minds. I'm trying to evolve and take a few people with me. I live in Northern California with one rescue dog, three children who walk this earth and one who soars. My son Patrick died of SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childood) on February 8th, 2013 and my life and writing are slowly evolving into mediums for coping with that loss and using it to help others heal, too.
