One of 15 siblings, my enormous family has been a constant source of love and inspiration. I have been a lifelong musician and writer of anything that comes to mind. I've been writing songs since I was a small boy. I play several instruments and have been a storyteller and major BS artist all my life.

"Eccentric", "peculiar" and "curious" are some of the names I've been called that I like the best. I spend my time working to pay the bills, watching life pass by while I try to learn everything I can about everything I can.

I honed many of my stories as I related them to the thousands of people I encountered as a cab driver of 15 years. It was their entusiasm and encouragement that led to my commiting them to paper... so to speak.

I started by writing the first of 3 books chronicling my life and my family about 20 years ago. While I struggle to finish the more lengthy work of writing a complete novel,  I seem to have found a niche in writing short "Flash Fiction" stories. I enjoy the challenge of trying to create a big picture with few words.

My family and friends are the most important things in my life. I have a lot of both and because of that, I have all the love and support I need. I am not religious in any way, yet, I want to understand what life is all about as much as anyone. My favorite pastime is working on my version of the "Theory of Everything".

And, by golly, I think I've got it!
