My name is Rick, I live in Florida, and I was born in the year of the Dragon. Throughout my school days I had a great love for math, which I struggled at, and despised English, which I excelled at. An army brat, I grew up meeting many different peoples from different places, and seem to have a strange affinity with animals. An avid reader, I cannot honestly say I have this "great passion" for writing, it's just an unexplainable occurance that has happened throughout my life.
