I enjoy the study of Art History and literature, and I am a published author. I am passionate about writing as well as digital painting. While I don't have any particular interests that stand out as extraordinary, I find life's experiences just as meaningful as anyone else might. other words, there are things in life that don't warrant much interest, but there are countless things I enjoy about living, as long as it is in harmony with the Holy Spirit within me.

The last time I heard from my Father above, He said to me, "I have a story to tell the world about working 22 very diverse jobs and the great impact that diversified education has had on me. The combination of all my diverse knowledge has greatly helped me progress on my life's journey. Given how diverse my life experiences have been so far, traveling around the world is just one part of my expansive way of thinking.
