About The Author

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Upon finishing High School, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served for twenty-one years. After retiring in 1975, I earned a B.S. in Economics and Business Administration from the University of California at San Bernardino. I became interested in writing in 1985 while working as assistant to the late Evarts Ziegler, literary agent at International Creative Management in Los Angeles. I now reside with my wife Anna in Tucson, Arizona. The Kreuzvogel Experiment was self-published by the Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co. in 2014. In my opinion, this story would make a great NetFlix series.
