Prior to teaching, I worked in both the insurance and investment fields. I've worked at AG Edwards (now Wells Fargo) and Shelter insurance. I grew up in Edwardsville, Illinois and attended SIU at Edwardsville after graduating from Edwardsville High School. After high school I did take a one year detour through McKendree College in Lebanon, IL. I am married with one child who is now a teacher in her own right. I did lose my older brother when I was seventeen, and still miss him. He truly was my hero and friend. My books are works of historical fiction to be exact. My books are a collection of the stories based on real events with the names changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.показать меньше
