I grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois and I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma where I majored in communications.
I am the author of several novels as well as dozens of short stories including the Lt. Barton Detective series. Additionally, two of my short pieces were accepted by The John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts for inclusion in their Miscellaneous Manuscripts section.
I am the father of two lovely girls (Bonnie Leigh & Anne Marie) and I have four wonderful grandchildren whom I love dearly (Aaron Jeffrey, Kendra Ann, Sarafina Margaret and Emmett Jeffrey).
I presently reside in Glenview, Illinois with my long time companion, Mary Ellen.
