Hello, everyone! Thanks for viewing my page. I'm a down-to earth man with a passion for life; one who possesses a vision dedicated to the proposition that "all men, and women, were created equally".

I'm a former sergeant of US Marines; Vietnam era, honorably discharged. I consider myself a fine communicator with superior listening skills and a zeal for increased understanding. My greatest achievement thus far in life can be found in the many years I've spent involved with developmentally disabled adults, specifically teaching "life skills" and assisting them with assimilation into community settings, where they became good neighbors and productive citizens.

I love to write and have been engaged in the art for over 30 years; enthusiastically for the past eight. I have two novels available for publication (as soon as I can find a publisher), along with the rough drafts of four more works of fiction and a nonfiction history and commentary of western religion. In addition, I have a catalog of over 400 poems, anagrams, and essays covering a myriad of topics.

The first completed novel, entitled "A Piece Of Jesus' Shirttail", is the story of a precocious Virginian farmboy in the sixties who is granted temporary Messianic authority to combat racism and separatism in his "God fearing" community.

The second, "An Accident Of Nature", is an irreverently told, raucous and rollicking blend of X Files meets All In The Family at Woodstock. The story features characters as diverse and unforgettable as: a young Asian woman with three lovely bodies sharing one interconnected, paradoxical spirit; aliens from the Pleiades studying an incomprehensible humanity; John and Yoko Ono Lennon; two "at odds" FBI agents with axes to grind; a ruthless yet personable KGB hitman; the consummate Nez Perce Shaman; an avant-garde, underground poet and his "old lady"; and two cutting-edge musicians with a Corsican Brothers complex.
