About
I flew for two major airlines, Eastern and US Airways for over 30 years until retiring. While a pilot, I wrote a number of aviation-related articles for major newspapers and magazines. I was also an editor for a weekly fishing magazine. I took up writing full time after retiring and have had two books published so far, a novel "Flying Too Close to the Sun" and a memoir, "Final Destination: Disaster. What Really Happened to Eastern Airlines." I just recently completed my third book and am currently working on another.

Final Destination: Disaster. What Really Happened to Eastern Airlines
As a former Representative and Member of the Board of Directors of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union that represented the Eastern Airlines pilots, myself and another pilot representative made an offer to Frank Borman, the then-head of Eastern that was worth approximately $2 Billion dollars in order to prevent the sale of Eastern to Frank Lorenzo's Texas Air Corporation. Borman, however, turned our offer down. We knew that if Lorenzo got control of Eastern it would lead to its certain destruction. After his refusal of our offer, I vowed to discover why and it took me places I never thought it would and included the most powerful people in the world who aided in Eastern's destruction.
