I write. I grow things. I cook. You can read all about it here.
I am just doing the best I can. Caffeine-addicted writer; sometime photographer, and struggling parent. You will either find me at a skate park, a baseball park, dancing to my iPod, in the middle of the woods searching for a geocache, riding the trails, the tattoo art studio, a burlesque club, drunk landscaping, urban farming, cooking up a storm, or in my study getting words on screen or pen to paper (sorta still old school). Now I know why Holden Caufield resisted growing up and why Jack Kerouac seemed to shrivel up as he aged. Being an adult is just fraught with constant catch-22 situations. I want to play; but I have to work. I want to love like there is no tomorrow; but I need to keep my children’s well-being in mind. I want to travel the world; but my wallet is empty. So, I will write to escape. I will write to endure. I will write to share and find others out there who can commiserate, relate and generally get me.
