Profile Information:

Hometown:

currently Sparta NJ (grew up in Mahopac, NY)

About Me:

I'm 40 years old, a teacher who has moved from the classroom to the outdoors to the arena of federal regulations. I'm working on a novel which is a bit of a mystery / thriller. I travel the country for this new job, and figure I'll be spending plenty of time in airports and hotels, so hopefully I'll get the darn thing finished soon!
