Gender Male
Industry Publishing
Occupation Writer/Editor/Tech Writer
Location Minneapolis, MN, United States
Introduction I've written for a living for many years, for pubs from Boys' Life to Women's Wear Daily. I started and edited Computer User Magazine in four metropolitan areas, then edited other magazines. A former member of the Calif. Golf Writer's Assoc., I acted as webmaster of the now-defunct golftodaymagazine website for some years. Of course, I also golf, but not well. I've purchased a van to tow an Airstream trailer, but haven't bought the tagalong yet. I cared for my mother for five years until she passed on in February 2016, so it's time to get back into harness.
Interests Reading is my drug of choice and one that I can lose myself any time--day or night; travel. Writing is my vocation and avocation, although I'd like to get more involved in creating videos.
Favorite Movies Popeye, Jackie Chan's kung fu epics, esp. Shanghai Noon; "Last of the Summer Wine", the longest-running Britcom ever.
Favorite Music All types except nasal country.
Favorite Books Any of Terry Pratchett's, John Steinbeck, Peter Bowen's Gabriel duPre series, Louis L'Amour, and almost every book I've ever read.
