Though my original reason for writing was self-therapeutic, a means of relaxation, I found that when I shared my creativity with others they enjoyed the stories. They encouraged me to continue to explore the many ideas rummaging around in my mind and get them down on paper. Since that moment, I have endeavored to provide a mental image of my characters many adventures through words – to pull the reader along with avid enthusiasm until the climax of the plot.  With my first two books, “Severed Ties” and “The Barilla Chronicles: The Jose Campanella Story,” I feel like I have written two novels that draw the reader in and keep them wanting more page after page.

Writing continues to be a therapeutic pastime for me, a passion that keeps me at the keyboard. With new ideas constantly evolving, I am determined to bring to life manuscripts that will entertain and intrigue for years to come. I currently have seven other books in progress and hope to have two of those published over the next six months.

I am married to Nancy, and we share our home in Wesley Chapel, Florida with our incredible standard poodle Maggie. We are very fortunate to share seven children and five grandchildren (with more to come!).
