I was was born into a Coast Guard family during WWII.

In th past few years I have  published 7 novels.  Most of which can be on this website. I am credentialed in the areas of deep sea diving, fixed wing and rotary piloting and hot air ballooning. Currently living in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin where I continue to build from a newspaper publishing foundation called the Geneva Shore Report. This weekly is also published online
