- About Me
A Marine Vietnam veteran, a former IBM professional for twenty-eight years, and a lifelong inquirer of religious methods. After returning from the carnage of war with a drive to understand the mechanics of faith, I spent nearly eight decades as an objective observer of the world’s major religious structures. My career in the business sector instilled a rigorous, systems-based approach to his research, allowing me to analyze the "back-and-forth" of dogma with the precision of a data-driven mind.
A man of commitment, I have been married for over five decades and is a father to three sons and a grandfather to nine. It is this grounded perspective on family and legacy that fueled his fifteen-year literary mission to bridge the gap between abstract theology and lived reality.
In my debut novel, The Shattered Mosaic, I explore the journey of protagonist Jacob Hinsen, who moves from the fragments of inherited religion to a bedrock of human responsibility. By blending my military experience, professional logic, and a lifetime of personal devotion, I provide a roadmap for those seeking a truth that holds up under the weight of the real world.
