I've been published a dozen times in one magazine and three newspapers, and have netted an earth-shattering $150 (for the magazine article).

I have a penchant for generating great ideas, doing nothing with them, and then watching woefully as someone with half my brain power virtually become a third world economy. "Girls Gone Wild" is a prime example.

I'm a college grad - Magna Cum Laude - who can see the poverty line just below my toes from my toil stand at my job in a thrift store.

I'm a confirmed bachelor who's on his second marriage, and am a father and grandfather.

I love telling stories, giving my opinion, and putting forth analysis of complex issues that I know nothing about.

I love to write. But, to be honest, I'm not as concerned with writing the great American Novel as I am with making a financially stress-free living with my work.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me.
