An Aerospace Engineer, Accountant, Product Manager, Operations Director, Sales Executive, and Writer in that approximate chronological order.

He’s always enjoyed writing, even though early writings were mostly Product Specifications, Sales Proposals, and Departmental Budgets. Most readers assumed those were fictional.

Currently lives in a motorhome and is traveling the US with his Interior Designer wife and their remaining Granddog.

Three grown children span the United States from New York to Austin, TX to San Diego.
