In, fifth grade, I won first place in Kern Countys creative writing contest. The focus of the material was, What my family means to me. The catch of my one page essay, My family is like peanut butter and jelly. We stick together. Won me first place in the contest. My family was very proud of me for my accomplishment. I had no idea I had this talent.
Growing up , I decided to join the U.S. Navy after graduating High School. I was stationed in Japan from 99 to 03. During this time I served in Operation Enduring and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Two wars in four years helped my decision not to re up.
Becoming blind in 2013 and enduring six surgeries. I went to the Blind Rehab VA Center in Chicago. The Instructors there were able to awaken my creative mind. I felt as if the world was my oyster again. I could do anything I put my mind to. I began writing again. I feel very blessed to be here and share my gift. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.view less
