About the Author

I graduated from Cornell University, the most majestic campus of the Ivy League. It's where I was first devastated by love and therefore the most obvious setting for my first tale of mystery, treachery, false imprisonment, and near death. Love in the Time of Cocaine is based on my real life experience and those who lived it with me know how much of myself I have actually chosen to expose.
After Cornell, I attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine where I received a partial scholarship. Pursuing Emergency Medicine has only added steeper slopes to life's already steep rollercoaster rides. At work, I encounter exhilirating moments of yanking people away from the grips of death. I practice medicine in the State of NJ.
As a student of Buddhism for the past ten years I have found tranquility in my life. It's the path to peace and joy arising from within, despite an external world fraught with rip currents swirling relentlessly at high velocities.
