Born and raised in, Detroit, Michigan.  I have spent 20 years in the United States Navy, the greatest Navy in the world (in my most humble opinion), and am now retired.  I received my BA from Columbia in Psychology (Hoping one day to get my Psy.D).  I am married to a beautiful lady.  Very easy going person and love to laugh and do not take myself too seriously.  I make friends easily.  So, if I warm up to you, that is just my style. I am an accomplished cook(go ahead and test me), and I have two zany dogs. I enjoy helping people, so do not hesitate to ask me about writing.  Do not worry I will not bore you with any more details. After all, we are here to write and journey into the unknown, not the established.
