Emotions are the colors that paint an otherwise black and white world. Through these pages its hoped that your day will be painted with a bit more color from my rainbow word-brush.

I was born into a ranching and rodeo family, have lived the life and while some of my work centers around the cowboy lifestyle, I do not consider myself a "Cowboy Poet". I'll leave that genre to those with a better handle on meter. I do write about real life - the beauty, the hardships and the laughter.

 

 

 

 

 

I am an accountant by trade, and not so redneck as one might stereotype me to be, but I am fiercely proud of my country background and strive to portray the cowboy and others in real life situations and with real life humor and humility.

I love history, and often write pieces that tell of historical events or people. In particular, I love to read and study on Native American history and culture. I also love Nature, and write of her beauty and powers often.

When my time has passed, and my breath has silenced, the mountain winds can carry my ashes over this wonderful land that I call home. I am Canadian by birth, Albertan by choice and a lifelong resident of the Rocky Mountains by destiny.

I was influenced at a young age by the writings of Robert Service, Banjo Patterson and Robert Frost, and therefore developed a love for rhyme and rhythm. A lot of my work tends to rhyme, although I do try to write some free verse and prose as well.

I am always looking for ways to improve my writing and would appreciate any constructive feedback on my poetry. I promise I won't be offended.
