I love to create!

I started writing as child. I wanted to be a novelist, hiding in a house and writing. In high school, I discovered photography, capturing life on film. After graduating from college, I worked in video production at 3 different TV stations before I helped establish a TV station for the Deaf (every program had open captions, or was in sign language, or both) which I eventually ran as programmer/producer/director, with the help of a few enthusiastic students. I also produced hundreds of videos for our church, which were shown on cable TV in 5 cities for more than 20 years. Plus...
