A multi‐talented individual


I am not only an author but also a poet, amateur photographer, born again artist, entrepreneur, Plant grower, and a developer with a Love for what is real and natural. I find beauty in Nature and know that we must "awaken from our collective slumber" to solve the problems we humans have created. In addition I am a lover of words who is life‐long learner, and on my journey (this lifetime) I have been educating and healing myself; mentoring and educating others; volunteering; growing Plants and cooking flavorful, colorful, healthy meals; and much more.

Author, Writer, & Poet

I wrote my first two poems in the second grade. In middle and high school, I composed an autobiography, a play, more poetry, book reviews, essays, personal nar­ratives, reports, research papers, and short stories. As an adult I have written articles, business plans, letters to the editor, manuals, software documentation, tutorials, and more.

My published books include the following:

Born‐again artist

I was raised within a tight‐knit extended family where I learned how to make‐do, think out of the box, and about the importance of family and Nature. Growing up I was a budding visual artist who enjoyed sketching and drawing so much that I had thought about pursuing a career as an art teacher or to be a non‐starving artist. In July 1990 or 1991 I received a 110 camera as a birthday present and added a new creative hobby: photography. With my trusty 110 camera, I photographed Nature, friends, road trips, and family gatherings. However for different reasons I lost my creativity during my adolescence...

When I resurrected my inner artist, I mainly brought back my love for photography.

Consultant

In January 2006 I started EConsulting™, an eco‐conscious consulting company that offers diverse services.

Developer

I started programming in the 1990s and turned my hobby into a career in 2006. About 85% my programming projects and/or work history is on my online résumé.
