He was born and lived in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After High School he entered the service and served four years with the U.S. Coast Guard. He went to college and obtained a ASET degree in Electronics Engineering. Worked for NCR Corporation and for many years was part of the development team that designed the new age of cash registers you see in stores today. He left the business world to go back into the military to pursue a dream that they could offer. For the next twenty-three years he worked in Communications and Computer Operations with a departure for almost eight years when he joined the Government's Federal Agent Corp.

He has traveled extensively and gained a vast experience of knowledge from his encounters. After retiring he went back to the Computer Industry and worked as a consultant for major industries until he decided it was time to relax. He spent more than twelve years working for the Walt Disney Company. A truly unique experience into the world of entertainment and the Hospitality Industry. He is now completely retired to pursue a love he has always had in writing. His current book, The Talon Incident, was a dream that came to him over several days. It was so compelling he had to put it to print. His future works will go in other directions and some will be taken from real life experiences based on his travels.
