I always wanted to be a writer but like people always say first things first and that first thing was dealing with the ups and downs of my life. In 1968 I went to college under the GI Bill and it was during those turbulent times that I told some of my writing friends that I also wanted to be a writer. Unfortunately my friends and I spent more time drinking and talking about writing than actually putting pen to paper. My first attempts at writing came years later. Somehow I managed to write two poetry collections, When Yesterday Was Today, self-published December, 2012. Three years later I followed up with East of Seventh, nominated for the 2015 Pushcart Prize.

Feeling confident about writing I wrote four one act plays presented at the Manhattan Repertory Theatre. The Loneliness of The College Dropout, March 2016; Working Class, September 2016 which was voted best play; JEN, March 2017; and Four Characters, May 2019.

Home is on the South Shore of Long Island with my wife and son.
