ABOUT
After essentially spending the first twenty-four years of my life in school, followed by another ten years as a college professor, I decided it was time to get some traveling in. While I had traveled some when I was younger (a good number of states along with some time in British Columbia), I had never gone to the places I really wanted to go. So after a five year relationship had ended and my teaching career was established, I figured that it was time.
Besides teaching and traveling, I have published two collections of poetry, In a Strange Land and Pagan Blues, with two more in the works. I have written the lyrics to the songs "A Place for Me" and "Wish for Tomorrow" recorded by Austin singer/songwriter Kim Novak. A different version of the latter was also included on Raspberry Silk's album Inner Voices.
I also once worked as a still photographer for a made-for-TV monster movie and always travel with a copy of Herodotus' The Histories.
