Growing up in a military structure taught me many things, but most importantly, self-discipline. Having moved twenty-seven times in my life was daunting at first, but now I have what I call “Gypsy Feet.” If the words Road trip are expressed, I’m yelling shotgun and have already packed my bags.
As a Vietnam-era veteran, I used the skills learned as a child to make my journey through the military a memorable one, with the highest ability learned being used a lot; Getting along with others. That is the most important one in my view.
The ability to adapt quickly and see people for who they are and not for what is expected of them. Being part of a team was very important.
I have worked as a CASA volunteer, a 911 operator, and a mediator in conflict resolution with a municipal court. I have a degree in paralegal studies and a Bachelor of Science in IT from ASU.
I joined the writers club in 2025 with the excitement of learning more about the writing world. I don’t know what genre I fit into, but I love the stories I find “Along the way” when I travel.
