In 1996 I ended up on disability after an unfortunate mishap and at the time it prevented me from working. At first it was devastating to me not being able to walk any distance without the aid of a walker. It wasn’t long before I got pretty bored with staying at home doing nothing. I pondered on what to do with all my free time for what seemed like forever. Now I'm able to accept my situation and I continue living my life as productive as I can. Eventually I got myself healthy enough that I'm now helping to manage the townhouse and apartment complex that I also live at. I also keep myself busy working on friends computers on the side just for something to do, it also gives me great satisfaction in being able to help others.

In 1997 my doctors suggested that getting a computer would be a good way to retrain my brain as being in a coma for over a month had some affect on my ability to remember and think clearly. This was the first time I was seriously introduced to a computer and at first honestly didn’t feel that it was going to help me. The more time I spent at it, the more interested I became and soon took it on as more of a challenge than anything else. Most of what I've learned today with computers has all been by trial and error and it's been a very worthwhile and educational outlet for me, as well as therapeutic. I really don't know where I'd be if it wasn’t for the work that I do with my computer.

In 1999 I started working on building this website and for the most part felt I had finished it in December of that same year. Little did I realize it wouldn't be long before I would start to write my own poetry? Mostly derived from thoughts pertaining to me and the situations that I've gone through in my own life it soon became a great way to express my thoughts and feelings in a positive way. At the same time I also started to feel that if I could share my poetry with others, they too may be able to relate with my writings and hopefully be inspired in some small way. It's also given me a lot of satisfaction and gratitude and like most homepages it will never be finished.
