I grew up in a small town outside Port Huron, Michigan. I now reside in Port Huron. I am a disabled veteran with a service dog named Sterling. I live with my wife, who I have been with for 25 years. I have a daughter, 13 years old, and a son, 6 years old.

I have always wanted to go on new adventures and try new things. I have had this idea for the book, “An Easy Lesson Learned the Hard Way” for a long time. Even after a move and losing the first copy of the transcript, I persevered through it all and wrote the book.

I give my deepest appreciation to God for allowing me to have the determination and persistence to complete this book. I also appreciate my wife who has always stood by my side and my daughter for the love of the manuscript which encouraged me to publish it.

 

As for the CD, it was really different because I was always disappointed or did not believe when people would say that God talked to them. At night, I usually woke with night terrors but for a while I have awoken to images that are peaceful then I would go downstairs and start typing away. I cannot sing but I found a person who would take my lyrics, polish them up since writing is not my strong suit and then put it to the type of music I envisioned it as.

The songs have really touched my heart and are all pieces of my life. I feel better getting them out there and feel more at peace. I have even started jotting down both more ideas for another book and more songs. I have been nervous about releasing both the book and CD because you never know how someone is going to feel about them. So far I have had nothing but positive feedback for both with is so encouraging.
