I have authored and published six history books, currently available on Amazon, which exclusively utilize primary source references. In addition to my background as an inventor and patent writer of search algorithms developed during my tenure as a software engineer at IBM, I employ Boolean search strings to navigate the vast expanse of online documents, many of which have only recently become accessible. This allows me to uncover historical treasures and documents that have remained unexplored until now.

My books rely solely on primary source documents, including authentic letters, journals, and diaries. I maintain the integrity of these documents without alteration or attempts to impose interpretations on readers. Instead, I provide narration and context for each document, enabling readers to comprehend the author's perspective and grasp the historical backdrop. This approach offers authenticity and insights into history, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the past as if they were experiencing it firsthand.

I independently create and publish nature-themed coloring books. Additionally, I am a member of the United States Professional Tennis Association and have five years of experience teaching tennis at Dutchess College. My authored tennis book is currently available on Amazon. Furthermore, I hold certifications as a New York State Licensed Hiking Guide and a Certified Financial Planner from Marist College. I am also licensed in Federal and New York State Tax preparation, and certified as a Macy’s Parade Balloon Handler and a Dutchess County Tourism Ambassador.

In addition to my various certifications, I am a published photographer, graphic designer, web programmer, and history tour guide in Beacon, NY. I have served as a board member for both the Howland Cultural Center and the Adirondack Hiking Club.
