What can I say about me except that it be undefined: several careers, countries, and many places lived. Writing being the only common thread. So if you pin me down I may reappear elsewhere. See my “Disappearing.” My political persuasion is “critic.” I like the unconventional in the arts. Major influences include many of the classic authors, whom I read voraciously over the years - Conrad, Hemingway, Melville, Lagerqvist, Hardy, Dostoyevsky. Minor influences: Bukowski, Dave Barry and margaritas.

Recently published "Poet's Flight", a book of poetry. Published a number of humor articles, co-wrote a financial planning book, and for several years was Editor of a financial newsletter for high income individuals.
