Born and raised in Monterey, CA, I received my BA in History from UCSD and my MBA from The Johnson School. I have worked in the investment industry, owned a small business, taught high school kids in Beijing, and served in the Army. My novel has been in progress for at least the last five years and should be completed sometime this century. As I say on my very sparsely filled blog that maybe three people have seen, I write in search of the real America and in defense of the individual, which as one of my three visitors commented, is one of the most oppressed minority groups in America these days.
