Поезију је почео да пише као средњошколац, а неговао кроз чланство у карловачком Књижевном клубу „25 октобар” скоро од оснивања. Захваљујући клупским активностима, наступао је на песничким сусретима широм Југославије.

Скоти му је чак помогао да уреди своју прву збирку „На згаришту самоће” 1989. Марта 1990. је био део оснивачке скупштине и потом члан главног одбора СКД „Сава Мркаљ" у Топуском.
