at approximately 11:40 pm after the doctor, in his horse and buggy,
came to his parents' home in Henderson, Kentucky. As the fourth child
in a family of nine children, his family moved to Evansville, IN where
he graduated from Central High School in 1956.
From graduation he joined the Air Force where he served in California, Korea, New Mexico and Germany as a medic. He attended several colleges in various parts of
the world near to where he was stationed while in the Air Force. After his first discharge, he attended the University of Western Kentucky full time. He later returned to the Air Force as a communications repair technician. So far he has managed to earn seven
college degrees in various fields of study.
He left the Air Force with a second Honorable Discharge in 1966 with more than nine years on active duty. He has traveled extensively across the U.S. and around the
world. He worked in insurance claims for thirty-five years after
leaving the Air Force and retired at age 63 in 2001 to spend more time
with his family and on his passion of writing.
This is his second published novel and he says his third is nearly completed. His proudest
achievements are marrying his wife of more than 40 years and their two
grown daughters whom he says furnish most of his inspiration.view less
