ABOUT ME

JDP2022.jpg

All my life I have suffered from a "vivid imagination". 

 

And yet, somehow, I can't think of what to say in this space.

 

Oldest of three boys, native to the Pittsburgh PA area, I have always considered myself rather boring.  In my life so far, people have paid me to be an actor, a dishwasher, a bellhop, a parking lot attendant, several summers as a shuttle bus driver, briefly as a tour bus driver (that didn't end well), a muffin baker, a newscaster, a copywriter, the MC of the Independence Day parade, a voice-over announcer, a radio disc jockey, a youth minister, an audiobook narrator, and a substitute teacher.  Occasionally people even buy my books!

 

I was a fairly mediocre boyfriend but I'm told I'm a pretty good husband and father.  I love to cook but struggle with baking bread.  I love photography, books, movies, and music.

 

Oh, and stories are my life.

 

Consistently, through all the stages of my life, I have created and/or told stories.  Nothing makes me happier.  I hope you'll settle in and let me tell a few to you.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
