A native of Union, New Jersey, I spent 21 years in Hillsborough with my wife and son before relocating to Nevada in 2021. My journey as a writer began in 2008, born from a profound turning point in my life as a survivor of the September 11 attacks. That experience awakened a deep creative impulse, ultimately leading me to explore storytelling as a way of giving shape to thoughts and emotions that had long remained unspoken.

I published my first two novels in 2008 and 2012. As I neared completion of the second, my wife, Linda, suggested I write a ghost story. I took the idea to heart, though it wasn’t until a quiet Sunday drive through the farmlands of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in the late summer of 2012 that the story truly began to take form. That moment of inspiration became the foundation for what would evolve into “The Harvest Junction Saga”.

Writing offers me a rare and meaningful opportunity to step into the world I’m creating—to connect with my characters, understand their lives, and live their journeys alongside them. Ghost stories and haunted places have always intrigued me, and crafting not just a standalone tale but a four-book supernatural saga remains one of my most fulfilling creative achievements.
