Well, where do I start?

  Okay, I will start when I was very young. I have always had the drive to be creative, drawing all types of pictures, either it was something I was looking at or just something out of my imagination. Most of the drawings I have created were pencil sketches at first, then added color from a variety of different sources. I also did other types of artwork besides drawings; modeling with clay, woodcrafts, leather and also metal fabrication with my welder. Over the years I have designed graphics on signs, posters, walls, cars, motorcycles and a variety of other things.

Also as I was growing up, I played music, wrote poetry and even wrote a few songs. When I first started, I played cornet in the school band from 5th grade through the middle of high school. I have always had a craving to play drums, which led me into playing drums in some of the earlier country/rock bands, which started for me around junior high. Later I switched to keyboards, then moved on to guitar, but the singing is where I excelled, and from then on I received the label of Lead Singer.

There came along other hobbies I love to do, like riding and racing motorcycles, racing cars at the drag strip, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking and backpacking. When I was in college I started martial arts, Tang Soo Do to be exact, in 1972. I am still teaching today after 37 years, and hold a variety of different black belts.

Also over the years I have had an imagination for story writing. I have written a lot of short stories when I was younger, but doing so many things all the time, my writing took a back seat to other adventures. I started playing with computers back in the late 70's and did a lot of my artwork and music with the computer. Later after getting into programming, I started designing games, which I would write the story, do the artwork and music. The computer for me has been one of the greatest tools, because I can use it with all the many things I love to create.

Now that I am older, I am starting to write a lot of stories again, and I have published my first book, which you can find on this website. I have also designed all of the artwork for the cover and the beginning pages for each of the stories inside the book.

Most of my life, I have worked in machine shops to support myself and my families. I say families, because I have been married a few times and have two sons, Ian and Dalton from a previous marriage, they are my pride and joy. Also the other tremendous joys in my life are my present wife Mary and her daughters Kelli and Shelli, Kelli's husband Devin, my grand daughters Trystan, Mirsyah and Brytan. Believe it or not, there is a lot more I could tell you, but I think this is enough right now. I have done a lot of things in my life and I want to thank my parents for always believing in me, plus the Lord above who holds my heart and soul.
