My whole life has been spent in service to others. I am my own man (i.e. Military Officer, Third Degree Blackbelt in Shodokan Karate, former alligator wrestler, etc.), but I have a heart to help people. My entire adult life was spent serving my country in the U. S. Navy and Coast Guard, while silmultaneously serving in my local church. Now, retired from the service (but still active in my church) I have turned to helping those who grieve the loss of their precious family pet or who have other life's issues where they need help or a friend. In my books I give my personal e-mail address and not a few are too shy to use it. I am more than happy to give whatever time anyone needs for as long as they need it to deal with their grief and problems. My service is always without cost or ulterior motive.

Birth Place: Patterson, NJ USA

Accomplishments: Published author; Contributing author, Naval Institute "Proceedings"; Licensed Baptist Preacher, Author, Christian articles, booklets; Coast Guard Officer with 32 years service and 25 personal awards and decorations
