Born a ""Day Dreamer"" in December 1958 in South Greensburg, a small western Pennsylvania town. Served in the U.S. Navy from 1976-1980 at Ft. Meade, MD (NSGA). Worked for a DOD Agency on Ft. Meade for the next 30 odd years - very odd years - Retired 2014 from Federal Service and moved with my wife, Linda, back to Pennsylvania - Carlisle PA, another small town, nestled between Harrisburg and Gettysburg. I've been writing poetry off and on since 1979.
