I was born on July 27, 1961, Shakopee, Minnesota. My parents’ names are William Engel and Margaret Strehlow-Engel. My children are Christine Marie, Donald Michael, and Robert Lee. I am artistically talented in the arts, poetry, and music, a caregiver, and very active in sports. Motor sports: owned and operated water craft, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. I belong to associations, publications, and members of related industries. I wish to help others, may it be through my poetry, song lyrics, ASCAP, or other associates.
