Background
I am a 59 year old family man, semi retired/disabled industrial flexographic printing
press operator. I've always dabbled in the arts, be it music, sketching, or writing. I've
been writing for at least 25 years and learn daily how little I know.

Qualities
I am fair minded and will always listen to every side before jumping to conclusions.
I have served on a few terms of AEC in the past and have found it to be gratifying as
well as challenging at times.

Diplomacy
It is my nature to think about both sides of any given altercation.
Leadership
In my profession I have always had at least one other person on a machine to oversee,
and watch out for. A printing press is very dangerous, and to date, I've all my limbs and
no helper of mine has ever lost more than the end of a finger (one scary night). In every
job held, I've been shift leader and because of my experience level, the one to go to when
there is a printing problem.

Availability
I'm available most any time, I check in regularly even when life has me going in circles.
Future Direction
I believe Neopoet to be the best poetry site on the net because its members are diverse
and are encouraged to participate in all that is going on, be it behind the scenes, or just
offering opinions. We are allowed to disagree, and that to me is one of our greatest
assets. I see Neopoet ever growing and being "the" place where we all can enjoy good
poetry and conversation.

Alternative Role
If not elected, I'll continue to be here for any position that might need filled, until I'm no
