I was born in Norwich, Connecticut, USA and lived most of my young adult years there. At age twenty I travelled to Israel where my wife, Michelle, and I eventually got married. We have been blessed with three devoted sons and eight grandchildren. During that time I went on to earn my academic degrees in Plant Genetics. I always enjoyed Thriller and Science Fiction books and later became hooked on Fantasy especially Epic Fantasy. After reading many books by the leading Fantasy Novelists, I became inspired to pick up a pen and tell my own stories. I began writing late so there are still many stories waiting to be told. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cycling, gardening and our wonderful family.
