About

Thanks for taking an interest in my writing. I was born and raised in the United States. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Humanities, with a focus in literature and writing from Hiram College.

In 2006, I moved to Co. Kilkenny in Ireland, where I obtained a Certificate in Creative Writing from Maynooth University as well as from St. Patrick’s College. I also completed a Higher Diploma in Tourism Marketing from Carlow Institute of Technology.

I’ve had a career in Quality Management, Massage Therapy, the Intellectual Disabilities Sector, and as a Tour Guide in Kilkenny City.

I’ve published poetry, short stories, a novel, and a memoir

I have two wonderful adult sons who live in the United States with their families. Not long after I moved to Ireland, I met and later married Madeleine, a beautiful, positive, Secondary School Principal. She came with three children (now adults) who have been good to and for me.
