Not much to tell about myself. I am 50 years old in a couple months. Tried a lot of things in my life and been moderately successful and failed extremely in others! I have lived a life rich in experiences and have written a bunch of poetry that just recently has been found to touch the hearts of nearly all who read it. Hopefully, I can accomplish some kind of career in this field. My wife is a well known Russian artist whose two kids are near prodigy pianists. So my life is rich in culture but it brings its own problems I won't go into here! I etch glass, both commercially and residential. From shot glasses to entire mansions! I also dabble in photoart, digital mostly, and hope to have some exhibits soon. I have two boys of my own, both grown. One is with the National Guard in Iraq at this time. He is the inspiration for most of the war poetry. My other son is a nurse in Colorado Springs. He likes to rock climb and triathalon. Both are the absolute light of my life and if I changed anything in my past that would change them, I wouldn't do it, no matter how it would change MY life for the better. God has blessed me through them, even though I know I let Him down on an hourly basis. I hope you will read my poetry. It is there for your enjoyment. I write poems by commission, so if you want something special, write me and we'll work something out!
