Biography
I was born in the great city of Springfield, MO, land of cow fields and green rivers that I still associate with good days skipping school. I have been a cook, a carpenter, a teacher, a lawn guy, a musician, and a night watchman. I grew up dreaming that I would woo crowds with my guitar and voice, but instead was too shy and spent great amounts of time dancing when no one was around. I left home when I was 18 and life has kept me moving. I found a home in Alaska, the love of my life in Peru, and more questions in Saigon.
I write and translate, in case you didn’t figure that out from the web page. I’ve taken writing courses at the University of Washington with Lyn Coffin, with Alonso Cueto in Lima, Peru, and an advanced editing and publishing workshop at the University of San Marcos, Peru. I published in the literary journal Stratus and am currently working on a book. I don’t like to talk about myself, the effort put forth here has left me exhausted, but in hopes that it will bring me a job offer as I’ve never really managed to save much money.
