After spending thirty-five years employed in that industry, it was capped off as the vice president of a robotics, tooling, and engineering company in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
I’ve been married to my beautiful wife, Barbara, for thirty-seven years. Like my parents and their parents, I became the father of seven children. After twenty-three years in the west, including nine in Idaho, we returned to Michigan. Our children are scattered in Colorado, Michigan, and Alaska.
I always yearned to be a writer but never found the time until we relocated to the beautiful Sedona, Arizona, area in June of 1990. Now with nothing to do but chase the little ball around on the golf course, I took to writing. Traveling around forty-nine of the fifty states and most of the Canadian provinces opened my mind to the wonders of the many different peoples and ways of living. These, and authors like James Michener, Alan Eckert Kenneth Roberts, Tony Hillerman, and others, became my inspiration to dream and invent stories.lihat lebih sedikit
