I am a native of Youngstown, Ohio, and  I am a retired United States Navy veteran.  I currently work as a Human Resource Classification Specialist with the Federal Government.    I have lived in England, Germany and Japan, and I have visited Spain, Italy, Turkey, Africa and various other countries during my active duty military years.   I decided to write a novel, because I have always enjoyed writing short stories, and completing a novel was just the next step.  I hold an Associates of Arts Degree in Business Administration, Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Management, and a Master’s of Science Degree in Human Resource Management.    I am married, and I have one child.

Retiring from the U.S. Navy was right up there with completing my Master's Degree on the achievement scale.
