Biography

I am 57 years old. The one thread that follows me is the Martial Arts (Kenpo). For forty years I have been teaching this art in what I call the Kenpo Body and the Kenpo Mind. Early on, Booadcasting was a part of my life large and small both TV (ABC) and Radio. Throug the broadcast medium I have met Hollywood Stars and Presidents, alas I was not cut out to be the next Dan Rather. Somewhere when I was young I decided that I might be able to save the world one person at a time and became an Emergency Medical Tech, then a Physical Therapist. Today I own and operate the Ashland FItness Studio in Ashland Oregon. Through this varied journey I have found character and plot for the books I write. From Body Parts, a dark medical thriller to my personal favorite The Cutter Adventure series I find that it is that varied past that informs and entertains.

Inspiration

The fodder of my life is the inspiration for my writing. From my early days as a magician, through Broadcasting, Martial Arts, and the health field my writing is informed. But once I discovered I was a story teller that could write it was Walter B. Gibson that molded my love of the craft of Writing. Mr. Gibson wrote the early stories of the Shadow. Remember; the weed of crime, and the Shadow knows. He had a type writer in every room of his house, at the end of the month he had several books and at the end of his life, thousands of books. Although I don't write pulp I am most proud of the number of ideas for books. I can't write fast enough. I love to write and am grateful to my publisher for many things, but most of all for providing an outlet for the most creative aspect, and indeed the love of my life, sharing my tales of adventure by way of the printed word.
