JUST A BIT ABOUT ME

I grew up surrounded by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in a time when children spent summer out of doors until the street lamps lit the night.

I caught fireflies and caterpillars.  I nursed a sick pigeon back to health.  

I read books.  Lots and lots of books.  I wondered what I would do when I read all the books.  I'm still reading.

I had a paper route.  I wrote and then directed my brothers and sister in my stories at playtime.

I invented a game based on the Monster Mash song and Freeze Tag.

My bicycle was my best friend. 

I graduated from high school then attended college.  Several in fact.  Learning is a lifelong pursuit.  I have two Bachelor degrees and I have taught English in a foreign country.

I lived in the People's Republic of China as a Foreign Expert.

I've done stand-up comedy, written books, stage plays, written and acted in film, sung, published poetry and written song lyrics.

I've juggled in TV commercials and for TV shows.
