I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 40 years being rewarded professionally and personally. Now retired, I am following my dreams and enjoy family, travel, writing, and promotion of others. My poetry appears in eleven anthologies, and my work is published across six platforms, inclusive of WordPress, PoetrySoup, Spillwords, BlueSky, Mastodon, and Tumblr. I'm thrilled in be in the company of such a talented group of kindred souls.
