My book, Poems Mostly of the Sea, is now available for purchase on Amazon! The Kindle edition bundles free with the paperback, if you want it to.

I have never been prouder of it than I was today, when I wore my US Navy uniform hat to join the millions of Americans at No Kings rallies across the country. I was only in for five months. That's five months longer than the man who just wasted 148 million dollars on a giant military parade while waging war on his own citizens in LA.  I will continue to do all I can to ...
