I am a full-time insurance agent (as of January '08) and a part-time freelance writer. After a brief hiatus, I am back at Digital Journal, and planning to spend more time here than I have been able to in recent months.

In addition to reading and writing, I enjoy painting, playing guitar, DIY projects that never quite go the way I plan them, and cooking.

My wife and I live in Kokomo, Indiana with our three dogs and a Quaker parrot.

I am available for freelance work, if anyone is interested. I have a wide range of interests and experience.
