I'm a writer, editor, ex-musician, dreamer, reality catcher, ex-con, and father of three. I was born in Alabama and spent the first 38 years of my life there and in Mississippi. In the 1970s and 1980s, I was a drummer in various hard rock bar bands in Alabama and Mississippi. Since 1985, I've worked for newspapers, ad agencies and magazines. I've also taken inventory, indulged in independent entrepreneurship, run a newspaper route and served time. I've been on the West Coast, L.A. or Seattle, since 1999. I'm married to the lovely and talented poet Viki Oak Elliott. For video you can't see anywhere else, visit www.youtube.com/alapoet
