The author has enjoyed a diverse career in law enforcement, risk management, accounting, teaching, and consulting. Now semi-retired, he hopes to devote more scheduled time to his writing. Readers have enjoyed his first novel, The Boarder on Monroe Street, and his Patchwork, a collection of short stories. He recently relocated to Monroe, New Jersey (purely coincidental to the novel's title) where he lives with his wife, Michelle, and pursues his interests in photography, travel, railroads, and ornithology.
