A unique twist of fate led me to go from a traditional Jesuit university, Gonzaga, to one of the most liberal state schools, the University of California at Santa Cruz, at that time known as the archetypal "hippie school".

Autorenporträt
I have always loved to write and have been a voracious reader since high school. I used to like fiction but now only return to favorites (Hemingway and Joyce in particular), preferring instead history and biography. If I have any talent as a writer it is God given and only improved by effort. Our little ship of five (myself, my wife Kate and our three children - Emily, Edward and Sophia) sails in upstate New York where we fight corruption, excessive state spending, and bullying and hazing every day.
