I wrote my first poem as part of a Veteran's Day competition in elementary school, and much to my surprise, won. It was read at the Veteran's Day assembly and published in their leaflet.

Since then, I've written quite a few, and have been lucky enough to have some published occasionally. I do not write for publication, though, and care little about whatever monetary gain I could get from this. I enjoy what I write, and publish with the intent of giving someone else the chance to enjoy or get something from the work as well.

My work has been featured in:
The Magpie's Nest, Almia, Offerings, Something Else, Down in the Dirt, Westward Quarterly, The Poet's Art, Oak, Poetic Hours, Speedpoets, Write On!! Poetry Magazette, Poetry of the People, Black Book Press, Waterways, Ceremony Collected (anthology), Pregnant Moon Review, The Poet's Haven.
