I was born in Burbank, California in 1959. My first 10 years were lived in a big house in Van Nuys Calif, in a Jewish Neighborhood. I enjoyed most of my early life very much as I was very good at sports and made friends easily. Later, we moved to Ventura Calif into a big house in the Ventura Keys where we lived by the beach. Most of my life I went to Catholic School where I learned about life, religion and faith in God. My first experimentation with poems was when I was around 16 years old. I pulled some of my mother poem books off the shelf and started reading them. Soon after than I started writing many deeply felt poems. I have resumed to my writing once again now that I am near 55 years old and I am enjoying it very much.
