I write an eating disorder recovery blog; my own personal journey for health and to share what I believe in, that there is always hope.
It also focuses on my dream to becoming a published author, a tool I firmly use in recovery and while I'm walking towards my goals, to pay bills I work on the sleeper train between London and Scotland.

I am a husband, teacher, Army soldier, musician, and runner. Living in northeastern Massachusetts I run on rolling hills and some flat terrain.

As a writer, I have a cathartic need to express myself when I am in trouble - so it's no surprise that I blog profusely about my cancer and my recovery.
I was diagnosed with squamous...
I've been clean and sober for over 23 years (in a row!) and have a sincere passion for sharing the ideas, beliefs and principles that began my recovery and have sustained me for these many years.
