Father, husband, writer, musician, adventurer, inventor, and faithful friend. I value God, country, family, friendship, loyalty, honesty, and integrity. Son of a sailor raised in Maine and schooled in Florida, at one time or another, I have called Bar Harbor, Presque Isle, St. Pete, Miami, New York City, Easton, Connecticut, Culver, Indiana, and Pacific Palisades, California, my home. My beautiful wife, Merryl, and I have been together since 1984, and we raised two extraordinary children who now live in New York and Miami.
