I am a simple man I guess. I love to read and write but I am learning more each time I get reviews, so thank you.. I was born and raised in Fairbanks Alaska and I have two children who still reside there. I have been married twice. The first for just over a year, and the second I have been with now for almost ten. I wasted a lot of years on senseless choices, but now after three years of working at the better things in life, I have found myself here at writing.com. I love music. I play the guitar as well as write my own songs. I draw with pastels any kind of scenery from nature that I find appealing. My wife and I now live in Mesa Arizona.
