Grew up in Brooklyn. Joined the Army in 1963. Got out in 1966. It's kind of a long story after that.

    

Soldier, Mfg Plant Mgr, co-founder of a public corp, salesman, nyc cab driver, College Advisor and some might even say a writer. Major influences, the wonderful and amazing ordinary people I've met over the years, and GOD of course.



Birth Place: Brooklyn, NY Kings

Accomplishments: Earned a self-control button in the third grade. Lost control after that. Married, two grown kids I'm very proud of. Wrote five books so far and managed to stay out of trouble for the last 50 years.

Additional information

I was always the guy they stuck with writing press releases for the company. I started writing for real after walking away, without a scratch, from a car totaled by a tractor trailer. It was the second time it had happened to me within a two week period. I think someone upstairs was trying to tell me something about what I should be doing with my life. So right now I am living with the elves in the North Eastern Pennsylvania Forest putting it all down on paper.
