I'm a super spontanious, free spiritted, very emotional person. I absolutely love my wife with all my heart. I am a columnist,a poet, and an author witch also makes me a writer haha. . . My day job is being a counselor/case worker for sex offenders at a jeuvenile detention facility. Check out my column running weekly on Thursdays in the Shamokin News-Item on the Tuned-In Page. I have two poetry books out in print titled "Sincerity Is An Art-Form," and another more recent book published by Publish America, the countries leading publisher. That book is called "It's Not That I'm a Vampire," and is available at barnes and noble, amazon.com, and thousands of other retailers. If you can't find it in your local store, just ask them and I'm sure they can order it for you, because most stores don't really keep poetry books stocked and up to date.
Who I'd like to meet: Cultured and unshallow people who are not judgmental and believe in peace and love. People with personality and lives of their own who don't fit in with the world.

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." -- Frederick Keonig
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." -- Alan Cohen

“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” -- Nadine Stair

“Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.” -- Socrates
