As a kid i did a lot of fun stuff, a lot of dangerous stuff, a lot of crazy, lunatic stuff. I lived in many places. My favorite was Austin Texas, where I graduated from college. Moved to Chicago and somehow survived about ten winters in the windy city. I am married and have two very adventurous children. They inspire me. One of the projects they have inspired me to complete is my book of poetry entitled Everything We Create Smells Like the Earth. It is being published in September 2014. Check it out.
