Fledgling poet and meddling writer, I'm an engineer by trade and education, yet lover of literature. My passion for writing regularly competes for me time amongst my growing family and house projects. But sometimes, when the caffeine is high and the stars are hungry, my muse attacks me feverishly, and it is everything I can do to feed her and fend her off. Most times, i don't even know where the stories lead or will end and am on the same journey as the reader. Happily and lovingly married, father of 2, lover of pets and tools and tinkerings, these are but the small pieces that build me into what I am.
