Milt's childhood in a small town in Oklahoma during the 1950s and 60s was full of adventure and imagination, like something straight out of a classic novel. He spent endless days playing outside, exploring the countryside with his buddies, and crafting grandiose stories in his head. It wasn't long before his pals dubbed him the king of campfire tales, and Milt relished in his role as the ultimate storyteller.
Raised by a Marine Corps dad and surrounded by four uncles who'd served in WWII, Milt's love of military life and army games was off the charts. He dreamed of becoming a Marine like his family before him, but as the Vietnam War raged on, he struggled with inner conflict.
In 1972, Milt finally answered the call and joined the Marines. He excelled in boot camp and earned the coveted Series Honor Man Award, but he soon discovered another hidden talent- drawing. Milt's knack for sketching led to him becoming an illustrator, and he spent his days in the Corps at Quantico, preparing training material for Officer Candidate School.
After leaving the military, Milt went on to pursue his passion for art and enrolled in the Burnley School of Professional Art in Seattle. He spent the next decade working as a commercial artist and starting a family with his high school sweetheart, Marcine. Milt's career path took him on a wild ride, from web designer to software solutions architect to high school teacher and business owner. But no matter where life took him, he always kept his love of storytelling alive.
Now retired and with a lifetime of tales to tell, Milt has finally decided to share his larger-than-life stories with the world. His tales are filled with adventure, humor, and a healthy dose of reality, embodying his unwavering faith in the power of imagination and his love for Jesus.
