Where did it all start ?

The author bug bit me in high school. I wanted to write, to invoke that immense joy of reading a good book. I was amazed how words written on a page could send my imagination into the past, the future or into the world of Hobbits.

And I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep."

What am I working on?

​

I am either halfway, or one third of the way, through Border Town 3. 

What I love about this novel is that Rafy is the recreation of one of my great supervisors...You are missed my friend, RIP.

The Invincible Crew was originally a bedtime story?

 

One night years ago I was put on the spot by my sister-in-law to tell her kids a bedtime story.

Well, with no children of my own, I had no idea of what to tell them. I’d never watched any of those famous Disney movies or anything!

So, there I was, without a net, making up a tale. I began without a clue of what to name my character, so I said he had no name

…and now I’m sharing that story with all kids.

 

******************************************************************

​

I am from Springfield, Missouri. I served in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. Later, I attended the U.S. Border Patrol Academy in Glynco, Georgia and was stationed in beautiful San Diego, California. After nearly 25 years, I retired in December of 2016.

​

During my career, I served a stint as a public information officer in charge of media operations. I got to supervise the San Diego segment of the hit series “Border Wars” by the National Geographic Channel. While in that position, I gave a ton of border tours to many officials as well as famous celebrities. In addition, I was on the patrol's nation-wide recruiting team and he chaired numerous oral hiring boards. I personally implemented a few highly regarded public relations programs. I was honored with two Commissioner’s Awards plus, the Attorney General’s Award for outstanding service.

​

Retirement finally allowed me the time to write. Although I dreamed of producing novels, the journey started with the story mentioned above, “The boy with no name.”
