A Maine native, I currently live in Wakefield, Mass. I worked in land use planning right out of college, then after a stint as an industrial pipefitter, I took up drafting in several engineering disciplines. These vocations, coupled with avocational hobbies and interests, augment my literary ventures. I’ve played with the written word since I could hold a pencil. With short stories, poems, two published novels, and essays, profiles, and articles on a multitude of topics under my belt, I can’t imagine stopping now.
