Grew up in Brooklyn. Joined the Army in 1963. Got out in 1966. It's kind of a long story after that. Currently I am working on the last rewrite of Rock and A Hard Place. A fictional Rock band's trip from 1961 to modern times, uniquely written in "Yous Guys Brooklynese". It's appearing one chapter at a time on FREEMINDSHOW web page.

Additional information

I was always the guy they stuck with writing press releases for the company. I started writing for real though 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 doing this and writing for the Communicator.
