One of the primary inspirations and Influences on my writing is when I travel, with my wife and a small group of good friends, to interesting and exciting places. In my stories, I try to capture settings from various places we have visited..

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am a graduate of the School of Journalism at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and hold a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College.

Shortly after I graduated from college, I earned a commission in the United States Navy where I served as a Surface Warfare Officer. In addition to multiple at sea tours, I also served on the Staff of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as a military Liaison to the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense, and as faculty of the Joint Forces Staff College.

I retired from the U.S. Navy after twenty years of service and went into business, initially as a senior analyst for a professional services company providing support to the U.S. Joint Staff. I advanced to become a Vice President of Operations and retired after thirteen gratifying years.

My writing themes leverage my knowledge of the military and government to develop stories with suspense and intrigue. I currently live in Norfolk, Virginia.
