About Me

• I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO in a family of nine brothers and sisters, plus one nephew raised by my mother. Went to school in the city in the historical Ville Neigborhood, attending Simmons Elementary, Turner Middle School, and Sumner High (where Arthur Ashe attended as well). I fell into writing very young keeping a diary, and then later several journals of short stories and poems. I currently live and teach in Dallas, Texas. I know not a bastion of diversity and culture inclusion, but it is where I am for the moment. I don't really do the whole bio thing much so a I suck at this badly so forgive my shortcomings now.

  I went to school at Truman state and earned a BS degree in Mathematics, and since moving to Dallas have acquire a Teaching Certificate for high school Math and planning to get a Master's soon. All the while I have rediscovered my live and passion for comics and animation. Thus, I am workign with a partner to develop some great comics and an animated children series. So thanks for hanging out with me and please leave me a note and comeback to talk soon. Cheers.
