A singer, dancer, artist, director and playwriter, his creative instincts caused him to write this novel, "Heroes Rising - The Power of the Crystal" which he hopes to be the first in a series of novels. Originally he wrote this as a musical play and composed the 13 songs in the show. When he realized that it would be too costly to try to produce this play himself, he decided to turn it into a novel. His thought was it might be easier to market it as a book. He was born in the Bronx, New York where his original song, "Love You all the Time" played on the New York radio airways. He moved to Texas in 1979 and continued his contributions to the arts in the communities. He was instrumental in the founding of a theater in Bedford, Texas where he directed at least seven adult show and over three children's shows. The music and lyric for the children's shows were composed by him. Other credits for him included, as the director and drama coach for a pilot film entitled, "Hot Squad" and as sound director for the film "Hot Air Balloons. He was awarded Man of the Year from the Fort Worth Star Telegram for his contribution to his community service. He is also active in community service and in his church.
