Graduate of Brooklyn College.
Spent many years living in a variety of places with a variety of people in this country and the one to the north.
Co-published the now obscure and infamous Grinning Idiot. A literary quarterly that produced a gaggle of rag and bone-shop issues of rebellious literariness over the span of two years early in the dark Reagan 80s. Some of those who were kind enough to contribute previously unpublished material were: William S. Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, John Clellon Holmes, Harvey Pekar, Crad Kilodney, Raymond Kennedy, and Richard Grayson to name a few.
Published some ragged essays and jagged verse in now defunct independent publications.
Partnered in a salubrious songwriting team that produced a bevy of forgettable songs, including three that appeared on the soundtracks of equally forgettable movies.
Having retired from the position of Grant Writer at the New York City Housing Authority in 2013, there is much time to reflect and regret and rejoice.
Both parents are deceased.view less
