I was born, raised and have lived in NYC my entire life. I'm a proud father of 3 lovable and precocious troublemakers. I'm also the owner & founder of Technical Difficulties, an IT support company in NYC. When I'm not helping people with their computer SNAFUS, you can find me spending time with my kids, reading a book or singing karaoke (if you can call it singing). My interest in writing poetry began when I was 21, and I'd written numerous poems between 1996 and 2003 before writing got sidetracked by life. It had been nearly 15 years before the death of a friend hit hard and I was compelled to write again. Everything I've written was during a very emotional time in my life and I can only hope that those feelings are imbued in the words that I've written. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work.
