After false starts in third grade and my sophomore year in college, I picked up my pen upon retirement and began to write again. This is my first collection of short fiction.
Like my protagonists, I have traveled widely in the course of career stints as language teacher, social worker, software marketer, and translator. I returned to the Chicago area in 2006 where my wife and I retired after living and working in Germany and Switzerland for sixteen years.
I consider our two married daughters and five grandchildren to be our proudest additions to the world.
Choral singing and European languages remain my other major passions.
