Taking on the World, One Article at a Time
Who I am: I am an award-winning writer with the San Juan Record. My column is called My Cave My View and has absolutely nothing to do with caving. The only Cave I live in is in my head. I recently retired and I am currently serving a humanitarian mission in Nuku’Alofa in Tonga. I have thousands of weekly readers, many of which have encouraged me over the years to keep telling stories.
Experience: I have been a writer for over thirty years. I published a book called “I Couldn’t Make This Up”. I have worked for the government, private industry, and owned my own business and taught at a small college. I have four kids, 13 grandkids, and enough scars to know pain is real but love can prevail. Yes, I have won several awards, but my readers are the best and final judge. When my readers laugh or cry, I know that I connected with one other person and that has kept me trying to perfect my craft and tell stories in ways that move people.
Purpose of Web Site
To share my writing with people that might need to chuckle at life’s experiences, need some inspiration, or share some joy and pain. I am a firm believer that we are in this together. Just sharing a laugh or a shedding a few tears together is enough to help me through another day. Some stories are exactly as I write them, I have “interviewed” people and used their stories because I am old enough to now know that we all have a story. And it is important to share those stories for the collective good and sometimes for personal redemption.
Of the hundreds of articles that I have written over the 20+ years readers have found their favorites perhaps because it resonated or was just timely; I will share these. I will high grade and include many of the articles that I liked, but not all of them. All my articles are available at the San Juan Record website.
