| Introduction | Born and raised in Greece, I came to America when I was 20 to study engineering. I worked as a writer for six years unable to support myself with my efforts in that field. I returned to engineering and earned a Masters degree in Engineering Science from CIT and a Ph.D. from USC. I was in aerospace work for a number of years, then taught at the California State University for ten years. Upon retirement I became a real estate broker and investor in California. I have been writing for the past ten years on a variety of subjects, self publishing a philosophical book on religion, "The God Connection," a card game manual "The Biriba Game," and article "Fitness at Any Age," available at newvistasmedia.com. I have been married twice. I have two daughters and two grandsons, sources of much joy to me. |
