In the third grade, I had a poem published in Highlights Magazine. That’s when my writing career began and my need to tell stories – on paper, on stage, in music, in photographs – became a lifelong thread. My college writing instructor, who just happened to be a Catholic nun, wrote that my essay on a trip to the beach was raw, pulse-quickening, provocative. Blush-worthy.

I was born in Schenectady, NY and graduated from both Draper High School and The College of Saint Rose, neither of which are in existence today.

I’ve spent the last 40 years at Mountain View Group, where a career in strategic and creative communications, as well as media production help support my other creative pursuits such as writing, music & theatre, photography, and travel.

Today, I live in Atlanta with my wife, Lacey, son, Bradley, and their pandemic puppy, Effie.
