MEET THE AUTHOR

I was born and raised in Greenville South Carolina. My parents were hard working God fearing people who gave everything they had to raise me and my siblings the best they could. They taught me the love of God to try to set me on the right path. Immediately after graduating high school I served four years in the navy with an honorable discharge. After several mistakes and mishaps I eventually completed college in animal science. Then I spent twenty years working with animals. Now in my later years because of physical incapability I have had to give up my dream job with animals. Now the Lord has called me to publish the poetry that he has written through me. I have also published my life’s work of poetry as well within these two series. I have sacrificed and lost everything for my books. With these two series I am praying that God will begin a new journey in my life.
