About Me

Currently a supervisor for Verizon Wireless customer service and a former DJ by night but my passion is in writing. I am a published and award winning poet and am currently working on my first suspense/thriller novel. It's a story depicting the life of a serial killer on death row and how he became the "monster" everyone claims he is. At this point in my life I am a fairly honest person.... what I mean by that is I used to lie to get people to like me but now I could care less just buy my book LOL. Despite the darkness of my writings I am a light hearted and fun loving guy who enjoys making people smile and feel wanted. I like to hang out at the karaoke bars and do a little singing here and there but I no longer drink except on rare occasions. Anyways, that's pretty much me in a nut shell if you are curious for more then just ask........ and I know you're curious. "All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor." -Walt Whitman U.S. poet born May 31 (my b-day), 1819

"A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms agains himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it." - Ambrose Bierce

My Interests

Writing, poetry, martial arts, cars, singing, history, movies, music, swords, all types of weaponry, different religions, ghosts, supernatural, comedy, you know.... all the usual stuff.

Bush, Larry the Cable Guy, Jim Carrey, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) and Jessica Alba because I mean hello it's freakin Jessica Alba.
