My Story
As a farm kid from Ohio, I spent a lot of time gazing at the stars with my home-built telescope. I wanted to be an astronaut and soar among the stars. After a forty-year career in aerospace, I’m exploring my imagination and sharing it with you in the stories I write.
Personal Life
I have engineering degrees from The Ohio State University and an MBA from Loyola Marymount (LA). I’ve lived in Hawaii, San Diego, Orange County, Ca, and Cincinnati.
I try to write every day from my home office in Cincinnati, or when we snowbird in Ocala, Fl. I have several guitars and a sound-proof music room where I sometimes hide from my nine grandchildren.
"Let others tell you who you should be, or you decide who you could be. Your choice."

Need a Speaker for Your Upcoming Event?
After a forty-year career in aerospace, I started writing fiction novels and have published five books. I also ran a traditional publishing business along the way. If you have an event or audience who would like to know how writing and publishing works, let me share my experience and insights. As a farm kid from Ohio, I’ve had a complex journey filled with life lessons that particularly resonate with middle and high school students. Need a guest speaker for your English literature class?
