Accomplished artist. Aspiring Writer. Born Storyteller.

EVERYONE HAS
A STORY. 

Mine is that I have always been the one who tells those stories.

Throughout my long career, I have worn many creative hats in this pursuit, including those of artist, executive director, strategist, and even cartoonist. The whole time, I had one last secret identity- author. Now, after 40 years, I have chosen to trade my pencil for a pen to pursue this passion, guided by what has always been my creative North Star: the power of intense, close observation.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy the work. More importantly, I hope that in reading it you find that essential element crucial to any good tale, a tiny, shining diamond of truth.   Cheers.
