I am a writer and father living in Bearsville, NY. My work as a political consultant sent me to six continents over four decades from 1988 to 2019. Working for numerous presidents, potentates, and one deity, my clients won elections and I won awards from the American Association of Political Consultants. I am writing a collection of interlocking short stories, CAMPAIGN LITERATURE, about candidates and elections.

I also write about angling and the outdoors. My essays and photos have been published in The Woodstock Times, Hudson Valley One, and Hudson Valley Explore among others. My other interests include town politics, school board policies, and enduring love.
