Since attending Junior High School in Florida and meeting some people who were also interested in writing, I have always tried to keep myself with pen and paper, working with the school newspapers (both in Junior High as well as during High School) and have used that experience to help launch my own career as a writer following my college education, which was completed in 1991. Graduating from Alderson-Braoddus College in Philippi, West Virginia and attending Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana, I became a Physician Assistant (PA); I then used what I learned in medicine to begin writing for several different web sites about the field of medicine. The first encounter was with what was then called "The Mining Company," and is now called "About.com." Following my experiences with the many web sites to which I sent materials and stories, I decided to venture out on my own and become a published freelance writer as well as a freelance medical writer. 

Working on my own now, I have begun writing my own novel, although it remains in a sketch form at the moment. I would like to use my experiences in life as well as my education to help write a fiction novel. It has been a long time coming for such a product, but I am quite sure that I will have the impetus and the energy to complete the novel sometime next year.
