Using that advice he composed 12 screenplays, 11 novellas, 4 novels, 4 stage plays and 2 creative non-fiction books. To determine whether he was following the right path he sent some of the manuscripts into writing contests and came in the top 3 spots 102 times. He won 57 contests and came in finalist or better in over 230 of them in contests such as Fade In Magazine, Breckenridge, Telluride, Garden State and Yosemite Film festivals. He taught adult education at Northampton Community College in screenwriting since retiring, and was Temple University screenplay judge for their Senior Project class (Freese Award).view less
