I was born in Bakersfield, California, in 1958, and I still live there. When I was about six or seven years old, I read a poem by Robert Frost and fell in love with poetry.

I have a son and a daughter from my first marriage, whom I genuinely adore.

"Thoughts Pressed Between Pages" is about my life after being left while "Autumn Memoir" is about someone who can't give up the idea of not being loved by someone he truly loves. Both are written in Free Verse Poetry.

One thing I love about writing is that you can put all your dreams and imagination into words.
