I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There was a rumor I was raised by gypsies, but I don’t believe it. It would be kind of cool though... I then made my way to Bowling Green, Ohio where I managed to avoid the man. I attended Bowling Green State University and received high marks. I can’t discuss what topics I received those marks in, but does it really matter? I lived there for a great deal of time, seven years to be exact and then I headed for the mountains of Montana. Unfortunately, I ended up in the wheat fields of Great Falls. It wasn’t much different from Ohio, except that it was Montana. I attended another University there, but who cares? It was then on to the paradise that is Missoula. Boy I do miss floating down the rivers there. It was a place where time stood still and life beyond its borders seemed more fiction than fact. More recently I find myself in Minnesota. Hey, you have to keep one step ahead of the man right? So I headed to the Land of Prince and Cheese curds. I could go into my favorite writers, but why? I should be the only writer you read. Now bow down to me. Or don’t. It’s really up to you. It will hurt my feelings though. I give credit to all those who deserve it in the acknowledgements. This, of course, would include all of my influences. I would have to say though, the greatest influence on my writing would have to be my friends. Of course there is an endless supply of freaks in this world and that helps. For info on my style of writing...please click here.
