Autorenporträt

Sent away to boarding schools to get a fancy education, the members of my immediate family proudly referred to me as bilingual for an uncanny ability to speak both Standard American English and my native Cracker. When not being fussed over by the woman who shares my life, I enjoy riding a large German motorcycle and writing character driven, slightly dark and quirky stories. Former Peace Corps Volunteer, sales engineer, packaging design consultant, recovering golfer and more recently, an award-winning and produced scriptwriter.
