He credits his mother for his creativity, his daughter’s doodling for the inspiration for the Holly and Honey series, and his wife for her unending support and encouragement to see this project through.
He is a happy husband and proud father of four children. He has been a substitute teacher for multiple grades and subjects, helping him understand the many different personality types and how children differ from each other during different situations and phases of their lives. He has also coached multiple team sports at various age levels, allowing him to see the best and worst of those personalities. His return to college later in life helped prompt him to regain that love for children, with their tenderness and need to be comforted in troubled times.view less
