Autorenporträt

I was born in state far away in the early 1950s while my father was getting his masters degree in geology. I spent my formative years in Indian and Spanish uranium boom towns in New Mexico. I went to high school in Oklahoma. I worked my way up in the oil field to be a supervisor of offshore operations on international assignment.

I saved enough to pay for law school. I obtained two law degrees.

I managed a policy unit for the State of California and provided guidance and instructions on compliance with federal and state healthcare initiatives.

Retirement from that position allows me to pursue more enjoyable writing projects.

I have a Facebook page where I can post high quality, color images. The email button works. If you see something you like and want to see a better version, I can post full size pictures to an album or send it by other means. https://www.facebook.com/2BruceClark/

I'm willing to discuss professional grade photo papers or Giclée.

Thanks for looking.
