The author spent much of his youth and adulthood aboard numerous types of sailboats, racing, crewing and also, cruising aboard his own vessel.
The family’s love for the Bahamas influenced the purchase of property and construction of an out-island cottage in the Abacos. The cottage became the “go-to” destination for the author during high school, college and subsequent vacations.
After graduating from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio with post-graduate studies at De Paul University, Chicago, the author enlisted in the Illinois Army National Guard where he became a communication specialist. He saw active duty with the 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
These experiences, as well as his life-long fascination with naval warfare history, led to the writing of this fictional story of terrorism, intrigue and passion.
A native of Chicago and a “dreamer” himself, the author currently resides in Southwest Florida with his wife, daughter and their 31’ Bristol sloop.view less
