About Me

I'm a writer by profession, but I've always thought the hardest thing to write about is myself. So, I'll spare you esoteric details by providing a pithy summary. I'm blessed with a wonderful wife, fantastic friends and family and a captivating career (I'm also apparently fond of alliteration). I've spent most of my life in Ohio, but I've also lived in Las Vegas for a couple years. I'm not without regrets, but the people I've met, places I've been and things I've seen have helped mold and shape a life of which I could never have dreamed and one I probably don't deserve.
