I'm glad to be a Texas boy who honors God, family, and country. I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast and spent summers in the small town of Luling, TX where I taught to hunt and fish and learned stories about the Alamo.

I attended the University of Texas College of Pharmacy and practiced for 42 years before retiring in 2013 at which time I began writing my first book for publication.

In 1982 II had the great good fortune to marry the love of my life, Kitty who, surprise, I call Bear, and we have three children and six grandchildren. We have been blessed to have served on two short-term mission trips, to Bantoom, Thailand, and Cali, Columbia, and have traveled to London, Tokyo, and Paris. Our travels included visits to numerous U.S. states. We are back on the coast in Rockport, TX.
