From an early age, I had a love of stories.   Most of my creative energy found itself behind a computer, writing technical documents or building things.  I have redirected that passion toward poetry and longer works. 

I was born in Waterville, Maine where I lived until I graduated from high school.  After high school, I joined the Marines and found myself in Memphis, Tennessee, Havelock, North Carolina, and Iwakuni, Japan.

After the Marines, I returned to Maine to go to college.  My next stop was Seattle, WA and then Gambrills, MD.   In 1998, I moved to Massachusetts where I now reside with my family.

I enjoy the poetry of John Keats, E.E. Cummings, Robert Frost, random Poetry Foundation listings.

Recently I read C.S. Forrester's series about the ficticious naval oficer, Horatio Hornblower.

Currenlty, I am reading C.S. Lewis--fiction and not fiction.
