    I started writing as a kid. In school I won a few contests with my short stories and one with my poem "God and Mother Nature".Since then I have had the poem "Lust" read on Houston Public Radio. Also, a religious magazine in Canada has published the poems "Testament" and "God and Mother Nature".I am currently focusing on my prose.You can contact me via my website.Although a native Buckeye, I currently live in Houston with my wife and kids.
