"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk only leads to poverty."

Welcome. This webpage will be used as a bio, photo gallery, and blog for an aspiring writer living in the Pacific Northwest.

I've been a sports and news writer for the last few years, along with gaining some photography experience. As of now, I've released my first book titled "Hometown U.S.A." Available on Amazon.com and for Kindle download. It is a collection of short stories based around the little town of Silver City, Illinois.

Second book in the works and could be finished by the end of 2012 or early 2013.
