I've been a writer my whole life, both professionally and personally. From Navy IT columns to fiction on Medium.com, I've explored various genres and styles. My writing often incorporates humor and unexpected tangents, a technique I honed when crafting (otherwise dull) naval memos. I dove into short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry on Medium. My characters often drive my stories, sometimes demanding more to be written. I also share "Chats with Deb," conversations with my smart, humorous wife that readers enjoy. My creative nonfiction offers life advice stemming from personal experiences. Poetry features prominently too, frequently about my awesome wife. Whether a tear-jerker or a head-scratcher, my writing aims to engage and sometimes surprise.
