About Me:

I’ve been a St. Louis resident since 1994 (far longer than I expected), prior to that I resided in Atlanta, GA. I’ve been married to a wonderful woman since 1995, and I’m the father of five fabulous children. Since moving to St. Louis I have worked primarily as a Programmer/Analyst, but I have also entertained several entrepreneurial ventures – some successful, others we won’t talk about.

I'm also a published author. I came to that the hard way. After chasing that dollar for so long I finally turned within and found great joy in the written word. I now have two published stories under my belt. In the first book, "Bloggers Delight Volume 1: Love and Redemption", I shared the page with several writers (all of which who have blogs) from around the country including fellow alumnus April C. Hayes. In my most recent offering (Sept 2009) I was included in an all male anthology entitled "Don't Hate The Game." This book features some well known male authors as well as a couple of us new authors.

Both books are available through Amazon.com, here is the latest!

Hobbies & Interests:

Writing, Teaching Financial Literacy (I consider this part of my life's ministry), Blogging
