Personal

I've been married for nearly 18 years and we have two teenage sons ages 15 and 13. I have a B.S. in Professional Writing and I've been designing and maintaining websites for the past four years now. My professional writing goal is to build a successful website/weblog business. My long-term creative writing goal is to have my work published. I was born and bred in the heart of the Ozarks. I love to read, write, camp, ride bikes, walk, spend time with my family, surf the web and make people laugh.
