About

I'm not a prolific writer by any means but recently I have found great enjoyment writing small pieces. My life mostly revolves around my wife and kids leaving little time for writing longer pieces.

I like to write about relationships, romance and love. What are we if we do not have love in our lives?

Interests
Crossfit and chatting with friends online.

Favorite Books
I enjoy reading fiction more than fact. Science, travel and biographies. But I do also enjoy historical fiction.

Favorite Authors
Sharon Penman, Bill Bryson

Favorite Movies
Cry Freedom, 12 Angry Men, When Harry Met Sally, Schindler's List, Star Wars, Avatar, Don Juan de Marco.

Favorite Music
Norah Jones and Nina Simone help me through my darker days. Otherwise Great American Songbook goes down well.
