He went to college while working as a guard at two different maximum-security prisons, which opened his eyes and gave him some pieces to the puzzling world in which he lives. He went to school. He quit. He went back and earned a degree in English/Literature. He left the prison and started teaching public school, which gave him some more pieces to the world puzzle. He taught English/Literature for many years until it became stagnant, so he went back to school and earned a degree in Media to run the school library. He still does that, and it makes him happy because he doesn’t have to do the same thing every day. He writes what he thinks he knows as best he can.view less
