About Me.

I am a writer who spends most of his life deleting what he has written because Oliver is usually very particular about how he wants me to write about him. That tells you that I mostly write about Oliver because he is always too busy 'wondering'. I write about these wonders, his thoughts, ideas and experiences. When I am not deleting what I have written about Oliver I am deleting copy I wrote for my client because they "didn't feel it."
