The Temple was born in 1996 when I wrote my first web page in notepad at the University of Oregon. At the time hardly anyone had heard of the Internet but here was this wonderful place where I could express myself, for free, and everyone in the world had access to it. The Temple evolved and while most people knew of it in 2000 I recall being accused of being egotistical for writing my own web pages. Now, nearly a decade later, so many people have web pages and write web journals (or "blogs") and I find myself lost in a sea of similar voices expressing themselves, hoping to be heard.

In this area of The Temple you can learn a little bit about me, read my short stories, poems, and enjoy other creative endevours I've engaged in over the years. These are my creations, this is one life story, my life story.

Enjoy,
