What I do
EVENT ORGANIZING
MENTORING & EDUCATION
EDITING
Maybe I'm a masochist, but I love organizing events and have come to be known as a prodigious event planner and community organizer, and twice made world history through events I found myself involved with. I am available to help organize events in your community as well.
It has been one of the blessings of my artistic career to work with artists and youth as an educator and mentor. I have served as poet-in-residence, workshop facilitator, substitute teacher, and mentor across the nation, in classrooms, detention centers and much more. I am available for classroom and facility visits, workshops and mentoring.
I have had the pleasure of serving as an Editor for several globally distributed journals, including the Pedestal, the Slam National Newsletter and Artistica. I am available to help you edit your manuscript or poetry collection.
PERFORMANCE
MUSIC
PUBLICATIONS
I have had the honor of sharing the stage with many of the nation's top talents, on some of the most notable stages in the country. I am available for performances worldwide, and open to vary diverse and eclectic settings.
I have recorded music with many artists, and have distributed my own work worldwide. With tracks on over 500 radio stations and a number 2 ranking on Reverbnation, I am available for collaborations, recording, and performances.
I have published my work in numerous journals and anthologies globally, as well as an anthology of New Mexico's best poets, a chapbook and my prize-winning collection, Animals in our Flesh, as well as CDs and various collaborative works.
