I was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1949, and graduated in 1972 from Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois with a B.S. in Physics. After graduating, I moved to Portsmouth, NH, opened a karate school, and still teach to this day.

Since 1982 I have been a business applications software developer, and am currently a Senior Programmer/Analyst designing and developing Java web based business applications.

I've been writing my dreams down on paper since my first science fiction story when I was only about twelve. I joke that I must be one of the most diverse unpublished writers in the world with a dozen book length manuscripts in various stages of completion covering such genres as dramatic fiction, software engineering, romance, business, martial arts, philosophical inquiry, backgammon, interior decorating, and cooking.

I'm currently (May of 2009) in the final editing stages with my third novel Too Late For Later, a financial thriller. After maturing my skills over two previous novels and thousands of pages of writing, I've been told that this is "the one". Whether it is or not will remain to be seen, but at least I will submit this for review.

This is something I've never done before. I've always just written for the personal satisfaction I get from the challenge. It's not important that I get published either. It's only important that I write and that my writing is good. If every athlete had to get to the Olympics to feel validated, then we'd have a pretty sad bunch of weekend warriors. Would it be nice to get published? Sure it would. But as soon as this book goes out for review, I'll be starting on another. It's the process of writing that's fun. I don't need Olympic validation for what I enjoy doing. Besides, I'm not quite ready to quit my day job anyway - I'm having way too much fun!

I live in Dover, New Hampshire. My interests include: martial arts, sailing, reading, programming, writing, business, backgammon, cooking, history, philosophy, wine, psychology, meditation, and science.
