He started a successful accounting firm from his kitchen table and went on to become a very successful CPA and businessman.But becoming a fiction author was always his life-long passion. He now devotes all his time in developing new and exciting storylines for his next fiction novels. His writing prose and style is often set within his hometown of Chicago, his native Detroit, and his many travel experiences to Italy and in Europe. He invests a considerable amount time and historical research in developing his storylines and various characters, which are very often modeled from many of his real-life experiences.
