I am an author, a high school band director, a choir director, and a guitar teacher. I am a husband, a father, and a grandfather. I ran for Congress in 2016. Two out of three voters felt that I should keep on writing and being a teacher. 

I write because it’s more socially acceptable than screaming.   I write so people who feel isolated will know that they are not alone. I want to be a voice for people who don’t have a face.
