I was born on the U.S. Naval Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut and grew up as a Navy brat, a circumstance from which I've never completely recovered. I've lived in San Diego, Ocean Beach, Carmel, and Pebble Beach, California; Quonset Point NAS, Rhode Island; Colts Neck (NWS Earle) and Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Ithaca, New York; Gulf Breeze and Gainesville, Florida; Louisville, Kentucky; Atlanta, Athens, and Decatur, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and even Jakarta, Indonesia. Whew!


I studied Electrical Engineering at Cornell University and 20th Century American Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Florida.


I'm vegan. I brew my own beer. I do crossword puzzles in my head, without writing in the answers.


None of which has had any influence on my art. I write what I want to write and I carve what I want to carve, no hidden agendas. If you want to read anything into my works, go right ahead.
