Vaughn Sherman's career as a fisheries biologist was cut short when he was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency. He served long assignments in the Far East and Europe before doing a short tour in Vietnam. After taking early retirement Vaughn became involved in numerous community activities, mostly involving the governance of non-profit agencies and community colleges. In addition to Sasha's Plotkin's Deceit, he has written the memoir of a northwest mariner titled An Uncommon Life (1988). He has also published three books dealing with the management of non-profits.
