This is your creative journey.
You may be an aspiring writer, speaker, actor or artist. My aim is not to ‘teach’ but to help you recognize your original voice and how to share it with the world.
Here’s a little about who I am and what I know that can help you

Areas of Interest
I write, think, watch movies, make music and recordings. I like to cross genres into fiction, plays and song lyrics.
Writing
I began as a poet. It has taught me many basic writing lessons which reflect throughout my other genre work.
Podcast
I have a background in radio writing and presentation. After the 'death of radio' hail the podcast!
Video
Although I began with audio broadcasting, creating films and online videos has become just as important.
Online Courses
I write and I teach. Assisting others and seeing them succeed has been one of my daily pleasures.
