Thomas Garris
I'm extremely passionate about Creative Writing and have an affinity for fixing things. My Father was an incredible role model, the man who taught me about home and automotive repairs. His values and principles serve as an inspiration for me in writing. Additionally, I have spent most of my working career as an automotive technician in Michigan and have general knowledge on all aspects of auto repair. My love for children not only stem from having two of my own, but from the belief they hold the key for our country's future. For those reasons, I would like to see more happen in this nation to protect abused, missing, and neglected children. We owe it to them to have a chance to succeed in life.
