Known mainly for his work on Trumpet and Saxophone. His professional affiliations include the American Federation of Musicians local 650 which represents the State of Alaska. He has been honored to serve as president of that organization for the past eight years..An avid historian and genealogist, Mr. Green has traced his own lineage to many interesting and well known personages throughout history, supplying him with a wealth of characters for future creative endeavors.His first effort at writing was his family history documenting the life stories of many of these ancestors. (now at eighteen volumes consisting of thousands of pages). This huge project gave him the confidence and desire to tackle the novel format.“Writing an original story that is tied to a specific chronological set of historical events is rather like improvising a jazz solo over specific chord changes. Within that framework you can go anywhere your imagination takes you.”"The intent of my books is to engage my reader’s emotions while providing fodder for thoughtful discussion."lihat lebih sedikit
