1980s New York City. A paradox onto itself. Gritty and violent – yeah – but also i>crackling /i>with excitement, intrigue and – especially – possibility. For a young guy open to that kind of energy, this was a city that could be absolutely i>intoxicating/i>.

I'm a free spirited writer/performer/traveler. Curious about different cultures and languages, I have lived in South America and Asia, and speak Spanish fluently. I'm also an organic foods/yoga/meditation guy who loves nature, the outdoors and dancing!
Kind of a cross between a funny A Bronx Tale, a bizarre The Razors Edge, and the 70’s movie, Coolie High, my memoir – THE st1:stockticker w:st="on">EDGE/st1:stockticker> OF WHITENESS – is complete at 86,000 words. Although sort of a quirky coming of age story, it is also a humorous and edgy social commentary on one community’s reaction to the inexorable march of change which defined a unique time period - the funky early 1970’s. Written in a cinematic style, I believe it has feature film potential.
