Home Page

Welcome to my website. In here you're going to find published articles, short stories, and a novel. There are also links to my favorite sites and pictures of the family. I am currently the head track and cross country coach at Salina South High School in Salina, Kansas. I also coach sophomore boys' basketball. At South I teach Junior English to advanced as well as regular students. And when I can't sleep, which is often, I write.
