Author bio

I'm an Air Force veteran still working when I should have retired years ago. My car is a 2005 Toyota Corolla someone backed into without leaving a note. Such crust! I went to Northeastern University to get degrees in Business Adminstration. During the day? Certainly not! It took 17 years at night for the ASBA and the BSBA. I just published my fourth book, Inside The Darkside. It's 12 short stories which is my forte. I'm in the best relationship of my life. And I'm at peace.
