| Introduction | ... I was born and raised in sunny California’s San Francisco Bay Area and currently live in Norway with my lovingly supportive wife and daughter. My passion for writing poetry and short stories began while attending high school. Later years found me writing skits and plays for the stage, creating websites, and composing letters-to-the-editor and featured articles. My employment experience includes being a California construction contractor, California Correctional Officer (adult and youth prisons), the California Department of Justice's background investigation unit and as construction equipment manager for all northern California prisons based out of historic Folsom Prison. After moving to Norway in 2002: Assistant Director for a substance abuse rehabilitation center, work leader for Norwegian Correctional Services’ criminal day labor program, U.S. Embassy Shift-Supervisor for Diplomatic Security and later their property inventory management specialist. I am currently the Owner/Operator of Cross Walk Publishing in southern Norway. Creativity can be a spark in your life . . . just remember to feed the fire and not give up when the flames burn low. |
