Introduction A free lance author and Florida native with one wife four grown children and three dogs. In my career to date, I have worked as a Timber Framer, a Coffin Builder, a Boat builder and a Carpenter. I am currently employed as a Construction Manager on the West Coast of Florida where, as we all know, little is under construction. The good news is that the situation just described leaves me more time to write. Although I can claim some impressive 'redneck' connections in my personal lineage, I have never been observed actually carrying a beer on any job interviews; a gun in my truck......well that's something else.
Interests Writing, Sailing, Building things that last.
Favorite Movies 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' 'Martian Child' was pretty good too.'Pitch Black', for the sheer morality of the story, and 'Captains Courageous', for much the same reason. Otherwise so what?
Favorite Music All of it but mostly good R+B from the 60's and 70's when you could still understand all the words and anything written by Beethoven or Wagner. Now there's are two guys who could really lay down a tune, don't you think?
Favorite Books 'The Eagles Die', by Georg Marek, 'The Knight, Death and the Devil', by Ella Leffland, Frequently anything by William Faulkner. Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius, daily. And a whole lot of really interesting things too but no politics. My wife hates it when I come home bleeding. (Okay, ...so lately I've been reading politics too. Sue me.)

If the Earth is really round, how come it doesn't look that way out my window?
