I am a proud traveler of the Rocky Mountains. I grew up wandering the slopes and valleys of Montana, Idaho, Utah and Colorado. I still find time to explore the outdoors; often running my way up and down trails.
I am an educator, both by heart and profession. I love to learn and enjoy imparting of my knowledge. I hope to inspire new generations of writers and artists.

I want my readers to enjoy my stories because they're both entertaining and pedagogical. ...more
