Mostly normal, everyday working stiff with five kids and two dogs. My day job can be rewarding but I’ve always felt most at home when writing.
My goals on Stage32:
1. to learn
2. to meet creative folks
3. to collaborate if possible, I truly believe I have several great ideas and could be of service to a more established writer in search of some fresh ideas. I'm confident to go it alone but also fully willing to share success with another passionate writer.
Unique traits: I’m very open minded and have extensive experience interacting with various types of people in my day job. I’m a father, step-father, husband twice, and I have lived many years juggling the stresses of everyday life. I’m comfortable creating realistic characters and writing genuine dialogue often based on my life experiences. I have minimal ego and offer minimal negative BS ( I have tons of sarcastic and jolly BS).
