Writer, Old-Warrior-Adventurer, Blogger...Born in Key West, Florida, a hangout for some past famous writers: Hemmingway and Tennessee Williams to name two. I just hope that I possess a glimmer of their talent.

Have a bachelors degree in architecture/construction from the University of Florida and a master's degree in industrial engineering from Central Missouri State University. Been writing for fifty plus years. Most of my writing has been in the technical, instructional and business areas.

Writinging my first book: "Havana Harvest---When Cuba Was Naughty" which details some coming-of-age experiences in 1958 Havana, Cuba, at the age of 15.

Lived in the countries of China (Taiwan), Germany, Portugal and South Korea and in the United States in Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and Wisconsin. 

Living and interacting with individuals in various foreign countries with diverse cultures and customs and ten different states with different attitudes and outlooks has equipped me with a uniquely incisive and worldly understanding of human nature. 

Besides Havana Harvest…When Cuba Was Naughty! I am also structuring two other stories based on his life adventures and travels: Alaskan Cherokee and Taiwan Tango.
