- About Me:

Let me see: I've been a construction worker, historian, Senate staffer, candidate for elective office, full-time gambler (I was a far more successful horseplayer than politician), high tech executive, and entrepreneur.

I live in Palo Alto, California, only eight houses from where I grew up, along with my wife and four children.

Gee, you'd think I'd have a chance to be the most famous mystery writer who ever 
graduated from my high school. No shot. Never. You see I'm an alum of Palo Alto High as is... Erle Stanley Gardner, the progenitor of…

Lori, I got 10-gallon hats. What you have that I don't is a photo of you proving it.
With a resume like that, you should have plenty to write about!
