San Pedro, California
Born on McChord Air Force Base,Tacoma Washington. Moved to Wilmington, California, at age 3 months. Grew up in Holy Family Church choir loft and Mares Market, for starters. Attended Holy Family Grammar School from K-8, and was babysat by uncles, aunts, plus Oblate priests and Carmelites. (My sister used to eat Father Ryan's Cheerios when she was a toddler. We both loved playing with his train set). Attended Wilmington Junior High for 9th Grade and totally HATED it, because there was too much fighting, smoking, drugs, ditching, swearing--you got it! Then, attended Phineas Banning High School and thoroughly enjoyed it, except for girls smoking in the bathroom (Ugh!), and when a boy (named Kevin?) got beat up with pipes and left for dead. Got a music scholarship to Mount Saint Mary's College, which I thoroughly LOVED, and now love my job teaching a singing choir and bell choir in Ascension elementary school. We're working on a DVD of their playing bells and singing. I am very grateful for my precious daughter, Mary, who has a 3-year-old daughter of her own, Lily. As a published writer, I enjoy writing, and will start on a reprint of my first novel, UFO BOY, followed by the sequel, which is already written. One of my friends on Facebook, Bill Palmer, is the author. He's fantastic! I've also written and self-published a memory book of my father. I am now into acting and modeling.
