Summary

A high school English teacher once told me "Everything for the story." I still think back to that, and believe a story resides in every day, every experience, every life. I feel that I am here to tell stories that need to be told, whether for the purpose of alerting, learning, or for sheer enjoyment. I have the passion to give what that takes, the logic to make it work, and the will to see it through.
