I'm just a guy. I like typical guy things such as classical music, nineteenth century literature, silent films, women's issues and fuzzy little kitty cats, and of course my amazing wife, Maria.

Due to a severe back injury I'm living daily with terrible pain, which has unfortunately dominated my life and thinking for much of the past five years. I'm currently glancing inward quite a bit, though, looking to purge my demons and tap into the spirituality I have unfairly neglected during this very physical trial. As unfair and distracting as chronic pain can be I have determined not to allow it to rule or ruin my life, and subsequently I find my reason and creativity steadily returning. My seemingly extinguished passions for writing, illustration (I draw a comic strip on and off), music and film are finally just smouldering back to life! I know have a long and difficult path ahead...but then again, who doesn't?
