Born in upstate New York in a small town called Canandaigua, I moved from bone-chilling cold weather to the hot desert of Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 3.  Spent most of my life in Arizona being raised by my parents and then working for 22 years in sales for my father's successful company.  Managed and ran a successful office for him in Las Vegas, Nevada for 5 years before returning to Phoenix.

​I have three beautiful children and currently I live in Bakersfield, California.  My current responsibilities and passions are my writing, family, friends, attending mental health classes five days a week during the week, and AA meetings.

Check me out on Facebook every day as I post there each morning positive, uplifting, and inspirational messages.  I do the same thing on this web site.
