Formally trained as a biologist and still passionately working in that industry, he has always tried to make time for creative endeavors. Whether that endeavor is drawing, writing, or photography, creativity has always been key to keeping a smile on his face, and some sense of order in the overly crowded, constantly busy place he calls his “head”. He graduated from Reading Memorial High School, Reading, MA, in 1989 as a “class artist” and University of Massachusetts in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences. Over 25 years working in the cutting edge of the biotech industry has not slowed down his creative pursuits, and finally, now, his desire to share some of his poetry with the world. Shiny Penny in a Muddy Puddle is his first book of poetry but represents a long history of putting pen to paper (or hands to laptop) to assess and address life, love, adventures, and misadventures. These are things that everyone deals with every day, and he hopes that some part of what lies ahead in these pages resonates with those reading them.view less
