Although most of my career has been involved in the professional world of graphic design, I have composed with words since I can remember. Over the years, my stories, poems and anthology entries have been published in a variety of small, local newspapers, magazines and books.

The first thing I would grab in an emergency is my old blue suitcase filled with handwritten essays, journals, correspondence and sketches.

I cherish creativity, connecting with people in person and simplicity. Oh, and a good movie or television drama! I live in Seattle where the stunning blue hue of the sky, just moments before darkness, continues to surprise me.
