Profoundly deafened at the age of 39, he is currently a columnist for Hearing Health magazine. He has been writing nonfiction -- self-help, poetry, travel, essays, and memoir -- since 1987, published in Life After Deafness and Tri-City Tidings, among others. He also serves as Vice President of the Association of Late Deafened Adults (ALDA), East Bay of California chapter.

"Brothers" is a recent
journey for him into the fiction arena after finding that the realities of life need a bit of fiction to assist one along his merry way (even if the tales are not so merry). A former computer systems developer, he now spends his time in Taos writing full-time and enjoying the serenity of the high desert.
