A recently retired engineer, Troy decided that after the passing of his third best friend from breast cancer that he would honor the second one’s wish and convert his college journals into a book. Having written mostly technical journals in the past, he just had to do this for Laurie. Troy’s daughter calls him a Renaissance man. “If he’s not building or restoring something, he’s designing and engineering prototypes. However, his real passion is ancient architecture, archaeoastronomy.” A true pioneer in the latter field, which he worked on while mastering geodesic architecture.
A native New Yorker from birth and for the last twenty-five years, Troy is a well-healed world traveler who shelved a thirty-five-year research project to make Laurie’s wish come true. Daughter Jessica says, “He seems to live his life in the service of others. He’s timeless. I love the fact that he still finds the time to design me or find me a cool dress when I need one!” She goes on to say, “He definitely has a few more books in him and all completely different from one another. He is a true artist, the real deal.” Although Troy prefers to be a recluse, never forgetting that he is usually misunderstood, he still finds time to create one-off works of art for the discriminating individual in the know.view less
