Peter Marino has been serving as the CEO of Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island for nearly ten years and has worked for a number of elected officials over his career. When he isn't navigating Rhode Island's State House and countless fundraisers to drive his health care agenda, you can find him on the water with a rod and reel. With more than thirty years of political and executive experience, Pete has managed to forge an interest in writing about the misdeeds of rather questionable characters. It keeps his mind off those he meets in real life. Mr. Marino holds a BS in public administration and political science from James Madison University and a MPA from the Maxwell School of Citizenship at Syracuse University. He enjoys living in Providence, Rhode Island with his family.When he isn't writing or thinking about writing, Tim Diaz is the Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Rockingham County in southeastern New Hampshire.

He came to this position after a sudden desire for a career change ended his 20-year run in the footwear, apparel, and craft beer businesses. This book is part of his ongoing rehabilitation. Mr. Diaz holds a BA from the University of New Hampshire and an MBA from Northeastern University. He makes his home on the coast of New Hampshire with his wife and family.
