Dave Campbell (aka STRAT): "I am a boyfriend, father, musician, server, scientist, engineer, martial artist, carpenter and friend. When I feel like I don't have anyone to turn to, I don't. I just sit down, listen to the best music I can possibly find and I write. I write so much that I wanna fall in love with adjectives, while twisting concepts in to the sound of church bells accompanied by a metaphor. I write for me and you. Hopefully you get something that I'm trying to give." [Dave Campbell, March 17, 1982 - August 5, 2008]

Orlando Sentinel reviewer recommends STRAT's "big bad slam poet" (in Orlando Sentinel's Word Count blog, posted November 11, 2009)
