I was born the oldest child of
three, in a small town located in Central Ohio, in February 1963, under the
light of a full moon. By birth, I am a
visionary with a strong sense of justice.
In short, I’m basically a product
of the 60’s, raised on Three Dog Night, CCR, and of course the Beatles. My favorite Beatle would be John Lennon, if
that tells you anything.
My grandmother was Sicilian, and
was partially raised in a Catholic orphanage. She was going to become a nun, until her dying
sister asked her to marry my grandfather.
About a year after her sisters passing, my grandma and grandpa married. So I
grew up with some strong Catholic roots, personally surviving Catechism and
three years of Catholic School. We even
had a priest in the family.
Soon after I graduated, I found
myself somewhat jobless and homeless, so I joined the U.S. Army Reserve. To this day, I take my oath to protect the
U.S. Constitution to heart. I’m very
active in protesting when I see an injustice taking place, whether it be
standing on a street corner with a sign in my hand, or writing and calling
governmental representatives. I’ve even
gathered signatures for petitions.
I’m a freedom loving soul who
likes to move about. In the mid 80’s I relocated
to Southern California. I came out of
the closet in the 90’s and moved to Columbus, Ohio, where I studied law and
worked as a paralegal in domestic law; eventually stumbling into real
estate. Then On Halloween 2002, my
partner and I moved to Pensacola, Florida, where we reside together now.
My first place of employment here
in Pensacola was with a Catholic Church.
My next job was a bookkeeper with
a daily labor/daily pay employment agency that employed thirty or so homeless
people on any given day. I made many
friends among them, and I leaned what it truly means to be homeless. I found myself working as a property manager
shortly afterwards.
I have worn many hats over the years, and I have
experienced life from many perspectives.
One thing for sure, the older I
get the wiser I become. So I write. I write to heal the world that I so
carelessly helped create. I thrive to
spark a heart and strive to touch as many as I can.
