About Me

A

All I ever wanted was to be a cowboy. I spent my youth working on cattle ranches in southern New Mexico, and later dedicated 17 years to quarter horse ranches across Arizona, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Along the way, I supplemented my income as a certified journeyman farrier.

 

After returning to school for a master's degree and attending law school, I devoted 18 years supporting New Mexico ranchers.Sadly, the western lifestyle is slowly fading.

 

In an effort to preserve it, I turned to writing and art as my way of capturing its essence. I write about outlaws, lawmen, cowboys, horses and cattle, showcasing the resilience of those who ride the range and face challenges without complaint. My works highlight the significance of taking responsibility for one’s actions and being honest in all dealings. My art features Terra Cotta sculptures and acrylic paintings, all with a western flair.

 

Writing offers me a chance to escape to the old west whenever I desire. My books explore various locations in New Mexico, not just because it's where I was born and raised, but because it truly is the Land of Enchantment.
