He was a preacher's kid In New York State, a high school nerd in the midwest, a fraternity boy in downstate Illinois, and a grad student in San Francisco.

He spent 20 years working in the music and entertainment businesses, two years creating content about Native American history for IBM's EduQuest division, six years dispatching limos that chauffeured showbiz high rollers in Southern California, and ten years as a foreman for a Class-A construction company.
His first autobiographical novel The Way I Was Taught was a finalist for the 2014 Eric Hoffer Book Award for indie and self-published fiction. He has also written several serialized anthologies of short stories and spiritual essays.
