Writing has always been in my blood, sometimes on paper and sometimes on the computer. From�history and music, to art and sports, my interests cover both ends of the spectrum and many of the things in between. My active imagination�combined with a need to tell people what is happening has�brought me to a time where I feel I can write for the enjoyment of others. �

Books, magazines, and newspapers have affected my outlook on the�world since I was a child. Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, and�Lauren Weisberger,�have kept my imagination�running wild. The New York Times and local newspapers have kept me aware of what is happening around me, while Rolling Stone and SPIN have kept me updated on the music front. Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News have helped me bleed the colors of my favorite sports teams.

I have written�poetry, non-fiction essays, short stories, and am conducting research for a novel. I have tried to incorporate life experiences as well as current news events into my writings.
