After retiring from the NYPD, I worked as a Private Investigator for several years. Then I was offered a chance to work in Bosnia as part of an International Police Task Force (IPTF). I was a Captian in the IPTF and worked as a liaison officer with the United Nations and the various army units assigned as part of a Mult-National Peace keeping force.
After a year of seeing man's inhumanity, and the mass graves from ethnic cleansing, I returned home to my PI work.
Several work related injuries finally took their toll, so now I am an aspiring author. Barracuda is the first of, I hope, many novels.
Birth Place: Yonkers, NY USA
Accomplishments: I have been decorated 30+ times with the NYPD, and received several awards from Commanding Officers and military units in Bosnia. While earning my Divemaster certification I was certified in open water diving, deep diving, ice diving, wreck diving, night diving, underwater navigation, underwater photography, search and recovery.

Additional information
|
| Since my life revolves around murder and mayhem, I tend to read books and watch TV shows that deal with the same. I also love the exciting adventures of Clive Cussler's books. Nelson DeMille always astounds me with his police knowledge, quick wit and thrilling stories, so I really enjoy his books as well.
I spend most of my time writing, riding my cruiser motorcycle, sea kayaking, scuba diving in exotic locations, and socializing with friends.
I have had a great deal of fun during book signings and look forward to doing many more.
