I am an enthusiastic and grateful citizen of planet earth.
I have has spent most of my working career as a writer, minister, counselor, photographer, musician and graphic artist. I have two children and eleven grandchildren.
In addition to writing poetry I love exploring the beautiful Oregon Coast with my wife, working in my garden, visiting with my children and their families, hiking, reading, cooking and sharing good conversation with friends.
My wife Toni and I make our home in the beautiful Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.
