Extensive travel, life experiences, the old-school attitude and humor, and the ability to get the job done no matter the pitfalls--have also driven my desire to write.  I've taken a variety of character traits from my experiences in life and molded them into memorable, courageous, believable, and sometimes brutal protagonists.

Healthy, sports-filled upbringing; U.S. Army tour 'Expert Marksman-Division Rifle Team' further enhanced my knowledge and respect for firearms; successful lifetime career in corporate management with leading aerospace company; clandestine investigator; Director of Security for two large companies in the Northwest before retiring to write stories meant to entertain and stimulate.

'Spectrum'--the once Government-sanctioned, secretive, color-coded, hand-picked team of specialists has reorganized and reentered the world of espionage.  The 'Spectrum' team's second project has been concluded and chronicled in 'Shadow of the Needle--Lost Girls of Puget Sound.'  This gripping tale provides a plausible answer to the Northwest's heinous crime spree known as the Green River Murders. The story of 'Spectrum's' third mission, which addresses the shadowy world of white supremacy, is well under way with six chapters complete and a working title of 'Kulturkampf'--(Battle for Civilization).
