I have been a construction worker, a fork truck operator, and vice president of marketing and sales. I've clean bathrooms and flown in corporate jets. I know the horror of war and the true love of a beautiful woman. I try to bring all these life experiences to my writing. Writing has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream has become a reality with the publication of my first book, "Da Nang Damned". This book has been buzzing around in my head for nearly 50 years! By drawing on my own Vietnam, experience and years spent living in Northern New England, will hopefully, make this book seem alive, authentic and a great read. I am donating 100% of all profits from "Da Nang Damned" to Carroll County Veterans Independence Project (VIP). VIP will renovate an old army reserve building into a shelter and training center for veterans.
