Denver, Colorado (Born: Louisville, Ky) |
I am the father of two boys, Casey (12) and Andy (9). I have college degrees in Social Studies Education, History, and Language Arts from Western Kentucky University. (Yes, I am aware that is three undergraduate degrees; the university wouldn't let me stay any longer for more.) I have been writing since I was very young; you might say it's in my blood. I am now living with my beloved Mandy in Queensland, Australia. |
Careful, meticulous, and analytical with streams of humor and cynicism pulsating through the veins of a sensitive poet. |
My own — not yours or theirs. I don't chase markets. Each artist must rise above mediocrity and conformity. |

I do not blog. Personal is personal, and image is king. |

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, /
Old time is still a-flying; /
And this same flower that smiles today /
Tomorrow will be dying.
