I was born in 1950 in Knoxville, Tennessee, just five years after the end of world war II. My father decided to move our family to Chicago, Illinois, close to two years after my birth. Shortly after, we moved to where I was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I reside. I spent four years in the military in the US Navy and later attended the University of Cincinnati in the field of computer programing. Shortly after I turned thirty, I married my lovely wife, Judy. We conceived five children who are grown and doing their own thing now. I am now an elder at Bethel#2 Apostolic Pentecostal Church and have been an elder for about 30 years.

As some may know, I wrote my first novel, Never Die On A Cold Night, in 1995 because my position as an elder in the church gave me the space I needed to do so. Yet, I did not publish the novel until 2018, when I self-published it with Amazon Publishing. Since then, I’ve written three more, which completes the Never Die On A Cold Night series.
