I am the author of the novels Standing Stone, Ned & Ashtabula; a memoir An American in Dorset; a travelogue, In The Middle of Somewhere;  an anthology of short stories, In All The Wrong Places.  I have also written numerous articles on history, education and science that have been published both regionally and nationally.  My works have appeared in Adirondack Life, Adirondac, The Science Teacher, Science Digest, Pennsylvania Naturalist and other periodicals.

     I am a native of Owego, New York and have lived in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and New York City.  I have traveled widely in the U.S., Canada, China, Russia and Europe.  I was an exchange teacher to England for a year in the 1980's.  This experience was the basis of my memoir, "An American in Dorset". I am also a blogger. My platform is currently Wordpress.

     A retired science teacher, I live in New York City with my wife, Mariam.  My leisure interests include hiking, writing, cycling, photography, art, watercolor painting and keeping my passport up to date.
