A 21st Century Renaissance man...that's what he says, while others would say, “Cripes, he's had a lot of jobs.” Born in Ann Arbor, MI during the Truman administration, he's been a Banker, Radio DJ, University Professor, Freelance Writer, Jewelry Artist, and an Ice Cream Guy (that was his first job and his current one 40+ years later). He currently resides about 500 yards from the Pacific Ocean in Seaside, OR.

Writing credits include: Former freelancer with 100+ articles, including gaming magazines such as Casino, Casino Executive, Dalton’s Blackjack Review, Double Down, Thoroughbred Times, American Turf Monthly, HorsePlayer and Card Player.
