I’ve loved to write since high school and have luckily been published a few times. Most of my days have been spent in a small, Ohio city. My heart, home and life are shared with my wife of thirty-five years. I have two children and four grandchildren. Every day I count my blessings and wonder when God might say, “No more for you.” That would be okay; I’ve had enough to last several lifetimes. Complications from a blood disorder have left me disabled, but on the bright side, I have more time to write.

I’m a Christian, a moderate Republican and terrible at math. I’ve held several jobs in my lifetime but most recently I’ve worked in the collection area of a bank. I’ve come to realize that life, as the cliché goes, is like a roller coaster. You have the uphill climbs, the faster than imagined downhill runs, the slow and steady gait of the strait track, and the quick up and down runs that threaten to throw you out of your seat. That’s what I write about here, life and its ups and downs.

Those moments along the roller coaster of life is where I try to grab ideas for stories. I'm not a "Best Selling Novelist", yet, but I believe there is a best-selling novel floating around somewhere in the dark recesses and corners of my mind. One of these days I hope to free that idea and build a great story that has a chance at becoming a best seller.
