About the author, artist . . .

      I was born on the Atlantic Ocean and wish to spend the last of my life on the Pacific ocean in Seattle, Washington.

      During the last ten years of my professional career, I was a senior technical writer of mechanical and electrical processes.  I produced many precise and detailed technical documents, including two 300-page construction manuals of multi-storied tower grain dryers and multiple-unit portable grain dryers:   Construction of Tower Grain Dryers and Assembly of Portable Grain Dryers; and the electrical wiring manuals for these large, complex pieces of machinery.  I conceptualized, designed, and wrote these books from beginning to end; and photographed step-by-step photo-illustrations for them.   This work has been distributed internationally with the grain dryers.  Now I am free to create what pleases me.  I hope my work is pleasing.

 

Born:                              February 10, 1949; Baltimore, Maryland.  I have been described as “honest, with excellent ability and perseverance”, by my late father who sincerely claimed to be unbiased.  My late mother said with surprising poetry that I am “bright in aspect, intelligent, a very caring person”.  Yes, this has been true of me in the near seventy years of my life.
