Husband, father, friend, priest, poet, preacher, fisherman, grillmaster, peace-maker and another guy just trying to follow Christ Jesus the best way I can.  I find that writing poetry is amazingly freeing and intensely cathartic.  Writing, I like to say, heals.  I never know what is going to emerge when I start scribbling with my pen or typing in the “Notes” on my iPhone (my favorite way to write).  Kendra, my wife, and our two young men, Chris and John Michael live, move and have our being in San Antonio.  Thank you for stopping by and reading these words.  I never know if they came into being for me or for someone else, like you gentle reader and friend.
