​​​​​​​I’m a retired International Sales Director having worked in the commercial and military flight simulation industry for over 30 years.  I lived in Brussels, Belgium and Bonn, Germany for 8 years and met my British wife in Brussels.  Before my career in the flight simulation industry, I was an Armament and Electronics Maintenance Officer in the USAF.   We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.  Home is a small town in central New York State where the novellas are set.  I am a volunteer mediator and Lemon Law arbitrator.  In the novellas I always have one of the characters involved in a mediation or Lemon Law claim. An underlying theme in my books is people helping people. I started writing during Covid. If I have to stay indoors, be active!  So, an 81-year independent author is born! It's great fun.
