The journey within...

Having grown up in the internationally loved city of New Orleans, with

all its delicious food, unique music, eccentric and sometimes backward

culture, I realized early on and I wanted to get out and see the rest of

the world.

After spending years working in Washington, DC and New York City

and traveling extensively throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, as well

as visiting some interesting places such as Yemen, Havana, Jerusalem,

Moscow, Argentina, and even spending some time in Antarctica, I came to realize that I never really stopped to discover myself, who I am on the inside, and who I wanted to be as a son, a father, a friend and a companion.

This, my fourth book of poetry and short stories, is based on my journey

from my first 18 years. Hopefully, there will be more to come as I continue to travel on this exciting discovery of who I am on this journey within.
