Bio

After finishing college, I taught at a small, private high school for 4 years, then worked as a Legal Assistant at a law firm for 7 more. I have since then been investigating discrimination complaints for the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, until someone got the ridiculous idea that I should supervise other investigators. I have been married for 32 years to Gretchen, who I met while teaching. We have a son and a daughter. I enjoy cooking, travelling and writing fiction, which I hope to do much more of after I retire.
