About Me

I grew up in upstate New York, living on my grandfather's farm until I was 10, then moving to a small town. I gave up an academic scholarship at SUNY Albany in 1966 to join the marines and fight in Vietnam, where I was a helicopter machine gunner, flying 300 missions, and earning numerous decorations, including 15 Air Medals, Combat Aircrew Wings, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. After Vietnam I went back to school and earned undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and English Literature. I worked for 20 years in journalism as investigative reporter, supervising editor, and columnist, and received several awards and a Pulitzer nomination. I am active in several veterans organizations and an advocate for my fellow veterans at every opportunity. With Masters of the Art selling well worldwide, I am now working on additional books.
