The first sense of what he calls writing occurred when he was nine, far into the Pennsylvania wilderness near the coal mining towns along the banks of the Monongahela River. Driven by the sounds, smells and appearance of the river works, this author found his nich in the story-telling environment of the tug boats hauling coal-filled barges up the river and nature. Hard times and struggles inspire this writer to retell grandfather yarns of the old country.

His house is like a touring museum.  One wall is coated with airplanes. He loves flying and watching aircraft stories, observing planes in museums and learning about airplanes. The other wall is infused with writing. He loves writing. He writes fiction and non-fiction. In the fiction area he has written many short stories, satires and novels. His latest is a science-fiction novel, entitled, "Discovery at Alpha Centauri." On the non-fiction side, he writes articles for American Chronicle.
