I am the author of several books of personal narrative and fiction, and occasionally my poetry has been published online and in journals. I've been the recipient of honors and awards from The Society of Midland Authors, The Chicago Writers Association, and the Eric Hoffer Book Awards. In the summer of 2011 and then from 2015-2017, I was privileged first to have been the Writer-in-Residence at the Jack Kerouac Project in Orlando and then at the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Home in Oak Park, Illinois.
Much of my writing is about fathers and sons, the redemptive power of travel and nature, music, and the sage-like connections we share with animals. I do my work inside a small shed behind my home near Chicago. It might be where I do my best thinking.
For many years now, I've been a writing teacher and a regular craft column contributor at MEDIUM at The Writer Shed, and write regular personal essays at SUBSTACK: The Abundance.
