I’ve been writing in one way or another for as long as I can remember. Perhaps the one part of school I actually enjoyed was English and literature classes! In addition to writing for the pure fun of it, I’ve done free-lance work for outdoor magazines such as Trapper’s World, and Wildlife Control Technology, as well as local newspapers Broader View Weekly and Star Gazette.
Additionally, I’ve been the guitarist and vocalist with Celtic rock group, Kilrush, appearing at many major music festivals and venues throughout New York and Pennsylvania. 2025 marks my 20th year with the band.
In addition to writing, my interests include gardening, reading, and collecting vintage action figures with a heavy emphasis on Star Wars. I am definitely a die hard Star Wars fan, even the most recent trilogy. In recent years I’ve taken interest in the plight of pollinating species of insects as well as the Monarch Butterfly. As a result I’ve been working to transform our family property into a haven for these beneficial insects.
I currently live in Upstate New York with my wife Abby and two sons, Andy and Matt, as well as some chickens and a few pet goats.
