I was raised in Buffalo, NY, attending a Catholic grammar and high school. I continued my education at Butler University double majoring in economics and finance. In later life I was sentenced to do time in both Federal and State prisons for crimes committed as a stockbroker. Following my release less than two years ago, I have concentrated on putting the pieces of my life back together. However, the events I witnessed and organized during my time incarcerated were too disturbing to be left inside the prison walls. I had a story to tell. One that I felt the American public had a right to know. From the day I decided to expose the government's incompetence concerning the security of our country, I have been harassed and intimated by the powers that be including the Department of Defense and the FBI. My life and convictions have been placed under a microscope. But ask yourself this: Why is the government is so intimidated with the contents of this novel? Discovery can be a dangerous journey. Are you ready to take the first step?
