I was born in the state of IL. although I have spent most of my life in Fl. My paternal grandmother was Illini indian and she would take me mushroom hunting in the early spring. We would also hunt for berries and nuts as she told me tales of her grandparent's village. These stories fascinated me and set aflame a yearning for the woods, nature and a love of animals.
Since my ancestry also goes back to the Vikings I have had an intense interest in their history also. From reading and research through the years I have conjured up many stories I intend to write along with Vision In The Forest, they will be coming in the near future.
