I grew up in the midwest living in Kansas City, Mo and Chicago, Illinois. I have been fortunate enough to travel to most of the United States plus over 90 countries world wide. I graduated from high school but continued my education through my travels and experencing different cultures, as well as studying people and relationships. My creative ideas did not start flowing until 2007. My poetry is a reflection of experiences that I have witness throughout my life. I sincerely hope that from reading my poems and/or my book that you will be able to relate or find some peace to your soul from my words.
