Introduction	is a middle school teacher by day, husband/father by night, and author by accident. His first novel, Alchemy, was mostly written while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon (which is a cool injury when it happens on a football field, but not so cool when it occurs while dancing at an outdoor concert!) That injury, and a somewhat serendipitous meeting with best-selling author AJ Jacobs, inspired him to start pursuing his secret dream of being a writer. After many rejections from agents and publishers, he finally found someone foolish enough to publish his books…himself!
Favorite Movies	The Fisher King, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, A Christmas Story, Three Kings...
Favorite Music	The Radiators, Grateful Dead, CAKE, Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder, and too many others to list. Let's just say everybody BUT Celine Dion and the likes of Michael Bolton (but Michael Buble is okay!)
Favorite Books	To Kill a Mockingbird, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Cat's Cradle, Nobody's Fool, Jitterbug Perfume, 100 Years of Solitude, The Grapes of Wrath...
