Autorenporträt
After thirty-six years as a university business professor, Curtis L. DeBerg retired in 2020. He received his bachelor's degree in business from the University of Northern Iowa in 1979 and joined an international accounting firm as a CPA. After that, he earned a master's degree in economics and a Ph.D. in business administration from Oklahoma State University. DeBerg first became intrigued with Ernest Hemingway when he traveled to Key West in 2005. He suffered critical injuries in a plane crash in 2016 that inspired him to learn more about Ernest Hemingway and to find the opportunity to travel the world in his footsteps. He retired in 2020 to devote his time to researching Hemingway and traveling to the places that were most meaningful to the great author. A native of Rock Rapids, Iowa, DeBerg is a lifelong Minnesota Twins fan. When not traveling, he now shares time between his homes in Miami, Florida and southwest France, where he enjoys sipping fine wine, savoring French baguettes and tasting Spanish tapas.
