About Me

I'm a senior technical trainer, instructional designer, project manager, and (in my spare time), a freelance writer. Before I moved to the Bay Area from Texas, I thought I'd be the next Dan Rather by writing news scripts for NBC and producing/reporting video segments for the Irving Community Television Network. In my spare time, I paint abstracts for friends and sing quite well in the shower. To sing well outside of the shower, I've been known to take a singing lesson or two. A tiny secret about me is that I've had the pleasure of singing onstage with Patti Labelle. Of course, with so much going on in my life, my blog is the perfect way for me to reflect on all sorts of things, thoughts, stories, and ideas. Enjoy!
