I graduated from Augsburg College with majors in German and Spanish and a minor in Studio Arts, and I work at Target as well as giving speeches on autism and marketing my book.

I am married to John Ricker, who, like me, is on the autism spectrum.

And since I am too lazy to go to the trouble of changing this page every time I have a birthday, I'm not going to tell you my age, I'll just say I was born on June first, 1981.

Books

I have written a book entitled "Born on the Wrong Planet." It's about my life with Asperger Syndrome and Tourette Syndrome. I'm working on another book, and I'm sure there will be many more in my lifetime.

Art

Art is my element... all kinds. See my paintings and other forms of visual artwork at My Art Page.

I've always been into comic verse, and occasionally other poetry. Visit My Poem Page to check out stuff I've written from childhood on up.

My Insight Page lists all sorts of weird speculations, questions and ideas that have been born in my twisted brain.

Here are the journals I kept during my semesters studying in Latin America and Europe from 2002 to 2004... complete with pictures.
