The author was born restless in the middle of WWII. After squandering a free education at Colgate University, he gave up a secure future in corporate management to embark on a childhood fantasy, crossing America on horseback.

He has worked on an oyster sloop on Long Island Sound and as a working cowboy in Aspen. He was a logger in Centennial, Wyoming and an artist's model in New York City. He has worked on the slaughter house kill floor in Denver and trucked 48 states with his own tractor/trailer rig. He bartended in Seattle and was a cat skinner in Alaska. And he has crossed the country by rail in handcuffs.

He is settled now in Massachusetts. It's the longest he’s lived in one place since high school. His bizarre journey resembling a leaf blown by the wind, would serve no purpose unless the stories were told. He has published short works regionally and internationally. The Mescalero Project, is his first published novel.
