During the summer, his family and dog, Buster, raced sailboats on Lake Michigan. Winter vacations were spent close to the ocean on the East Coast of Florida or the Caribbean. The family's love for the clear blue-green waters of the Bahamas influenced the purchase of property and eventual construction of an Out-Island cottage in the Abacos. The cottage became the "go to" destination for the author during high school, college, and today, is still being enjoyed by family and friends.
After graduating from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, the author enlisted in the Illinois Army National Guard where he became a communication specialist. He saw active duty with the 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team. These experiences, as well a his life-long fascination with naval warfare history, led the author to write this fictional novel. The author currently resides in Southwest Florida with his wife, daughter and their 31' Bristol sloop.view less
