Rochan

I was born and raised in Galveston, Texas. My love for reading began at the age of two while I sat each morning with my grandfather, drinking coffee, and listening as the morning paper was read to me. It was not long after that I could read the paper on my own. But despite the academic potential I demonstrated throughout my childhood, family instability during his teenage years contributed to an ill-fated decision to forego my final year of highschool and enlist in the U.S. Navy.In what was becoming a reoccurring pattern in my young life, I showed great promise as a seventeen-year-old sailor, earning meritorious advancement twice in the first six months of my enlistment, only to squander my naval career with more faulty decision-making.The rollercoaster ride continued and I became an enigma to all who knew me. While at times showing glimpses of the promise with which God had blessed me, continued poor judgement was threathening to destroy my life. Throughout it all, I retained my deep love for reading, as well as a secret love for writing. Sometimes writing entire novel length manuscripts only to throw them away before allowing anyone to read them. When I penchant for poor decision-making finally caused me to hit rock bottom, it was writing that rescued my sanity. No longer ashamed of his passion, I have decided to share my considerable talents with the world. My first offering, 'Gangsta Lean', was released on January 3, 2005.
