Born in Oklahoma, I spent most of my formative years here, and played football in the small town of Owasso. It was there that I learned to love the game. After earning my degree in Education from the University of Tulsa, I taught high school English and coached football for a few years, but decided to leave teaching to pursue a career in business.
Over the past couple of decades I've taken up an avocation in free-lance writing, having had numerous articles, columns, and several short fiction pieces published. I have one published non-fiction book - Writing Humor for More Than Laughs. GAME is my first published novel.
For the past 26 years my wife, Darlene, and I have lived in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma where we raised two amazing children, and now have one perfect grandson. (Note: He's the one with the mouthpiece in the above photo.)
For what it's worth, my savvy friends said I needed a blog; so I've gone kicking and screaming into the blogosphere. In case you're interested, you can click here to read what I have to say, and leave a comment, if you wish.
