Who…me?

Born in Towanda, Pennsylvania, I was one of nine children raised on a dairy farm a few miles north, near Ulster. As a young man, I studied with the Holy Cross Fathers for the priesthood at Notre Dame. My wife Karen — mother, nurse, and teacher — and I raised five children. I worked for forty-plus years in industry. We reside near Lake Erie in Port Clinton, Ohio.

Me, as a writer. This site is about my writing, which includes poetry, short stories, novels, essays, and historical nonfiction. Page down for a visual portfolio of my work. To view specifics about my writing, click on the ABOUT tab and the WORKS tab at the top of this HOME page.

Please bear with me…I just started this site, and it is a work in progress. Pretty soon, it will look much more professional. Thank you.
