I am a dreamer. I was raised on a dairy farm but quickly got bored. I left the farm at fourteen to travel around the country working the racetrack and carnival circuit. At age nineteen I was one of the last drafted for a war no one understood, yet I am very proud of my service. I started out climbing aboard horses that still had their wild eyes. Then a soldier, sailor, thoroughbred horse trainer, salesman, husband and father. In my youth I was busy feasting on what life was dishing out. I feel this time well spent, for it filled me with stories that have plots that twist and turn and dialogue that can make a imagination wander.
