About the Author

I grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois and I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma where I majored in communications.

I have been writing short stories for the past 20 years, and one of the proudest moments of my life occurred when The John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts accepted Brothers and another piece entitled The Reflecting Pond for inclusion in their Miscellaneous Manuscripts section.

I am the father of two lovely girls (Bonnie Leigh & Anne Marie) and I have two wonderful grandchildren whom I love dearly (Aaron Jeffrey & Kendra Ann).

I presently reside in Glenview, Illinois with my long time companion, Mary Ellen whose grandchildren I also adore (Sarafina & Emmett).

Special thanks are extended to my son-in-law Shannon for his design of this website and the many hours he dedicated to making this happen.
