I'm originally from New York City but consider myself a Portland, Oregon native. I love all movies including the stupid ones (life's too short not to try them) going on long bike rides, animals but especially dogs. I am self-employed and constantly thinking of ways to make others feel better about themselves. I'm married to my grade school sweetheart, Hazel for 23 years and have a 10 year old daughter, Eliana and a white dog named Blanco. I've had many influences in my life but my father and mother have to be at the top of that list. When I was a kid with only a white towel wrapped around my neck and a Rocky tape to my ears, the movie Rocky became another one of my biggest inspirations. I run a company by day and write at night. I write because I must and because it helps me release any self-doubt that dreams are possible. Thanks again for reading and if you give my book Wallace Park a chance, I'm certain this compelling true story will captivate you into a world that you never thought existed.

My biggest achievement is being a good father and husband. My certification is the school of hard knocks, and my awards are the rewards I get for being truthful and helping those in need. Even so, I have written for a college publication, and have had many reviews about my book, Wallace Park, which has been rated as "one of the best reads for a memoir" on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com. It continues to receive rave reviews and my journey to writing, truly compelling, human interest, page turning stories has only just begun.
