I started writing over 20 years ago, initially as an outlet for my own problems and the struggles of those around me. I’ve always felt deeply connected to the issues others were facing, and writing became a way to help process those emotions and find closure. My book, 10 Questions: A Deep Look at Yourself Through Poetry, is a journey that invites readers to look into themselves. I believe that while not every poem will resonate immediately, at some point in life, each reader will connect with the emotions and reflections in these pages. The accompanying questions are designed to clear mental clutter and give your thoughts direction, helping you understand your journey. Over time, revisiting these questions can provide new insights as your perspective evolves.
I want readers to truly engage with the process of self-reflection, using the poems and questions as tools for personal growth. Outside of writing, I have a deep love for fitness, the outdoors, nature, and animals—especially German Shepherds. I’m a jack of all trades, always enjoying time spent with close friends and strengthening my relationship with God. I believe in giving both myself and the world a chance to do things right.
In my writing, I blend motivational, raw, and deeply introspective styles to capture the reader’s attention. As a no-filter bartender for many years, I’ve learned that people appreciate tact and honesty, no matter the subject. My hope is that this book offers readers that same level of truth and reflection, helping them grow and embrace their own journey.
