I was born on January 24, 1957 in Rensselaer, Indiana. After graduating from high school there in 1975, I attended St. Francis College (now the University of St. Francis). I graduated with a BA in Business Administration in 1979.

    After graduation from college, I moved to Washington, D.C. While there, I worked in a number of forgettable jobs as a bookkeeper and accountant. However, my life would change forever when I picked up the sport of rugby. In the fall of 1980, I joined the Washington Irish R.F.C., which at that time was only one season old. During the next eleven years, rugby was the one constant in my constantly changing life.

    Then after the fallout of the depressed real estate market in 1991, I headed south to Florida. There I hooked up with another fledgling rugby club, the Sarasota Red Tide. I had the honor in playing in the first match the club ever played in 1991. Seven years later, old age and a lack of athletic skill (as if I had any in the first place, LOL) caught up with me and I retired from active playing.

    Since then, I’ve embarked on a writing career. In addition to this collection of short stories and other published pieces, I’ve performed in theater, standup comedy, poetry readings, and recently finished my first major motion picture role in Vampire Biker Babes, due to be released in 2007.

    I currently reside in Sarasota, Florida.
