I've been creating all of my life. From an early age I would take my Hot Wheels and hit them with a hammer to make them look as if they had been in an accident. From there I moved on to customizing plastic model kits and making them look lifelike. During my college years I began working with wood. I started the Windsor Forest Company which focused on high-end wood furniture and interiors.

After selling off my company I needed to remain in the creative real. I've taken up making one-of-a-kind lamps from industrial junk and writing more seriously. While I have always written during my life, I had never thought about publishing. I have published my first novel, Hunt For Goliath, and have others in the works. This creative outlet has been one of the most challenging but possibly the most fulfilling.

The road of life is long, with ups and downs, lefts and rights. I believe we choose how our journey will go. Are we going to sit on the couch, waiting to get to the end, or are we going to loo to the side of the road for things that challenge us and make our life more interesting?
