Who am I?

Before I give you my basic description and WOW you with all my great "accomplishments", I would like to say thank you for your interest. This is a very exciting time for me and I intend on entertaining you for years to come.

I was born in Fontana, California, as a child I lived in Pomona, California I was raised in Rancho Cucamonga, California. (Yes, it does exist.) I was put in very adult situations as a young man. My parents are deaf and during my childhood telephone typewriters were not common, so I would deal with bill collectors, car purchases and telemarketers. I would interpret for my parents as best I could. (I never was really good at it though) My parents are great people and I owe more than I could ever repay. 

I graduated in June of 1989 from Etiwanda High School and could not wait to get out on my own. I joined the Army and shipped off to basic training in August of 1989 at the age of seventeen.

I was married for a while and have 2 great kids, Anthony and Chelsea. 

I am still serving my country and now I am in the twilight of my Army career. It would be a dream come true to make the transition from soldier to Author and it looks like that dream is coming true.  

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I would love to hear what you have to say.
