Served as an officer in the U.S. Navy for 23 years, retiring as a CAptain. He went back to school, studied accounting, became a C.P.A. and was employed in this field for some 15 years, culminating in serving as a Deputy Commisioner for the Idaho State Tax Commision. In that service, he met his second wife and they married in 1978. They moved to Arizona, lived in a retirement community where she died in 2006. The one regret of his life is that he did not begin writing when he was in his 60's. He has written three books, two of which are in the process of being published and the manuscript of the third has been completed. In process are Lorena and The Captains.ver menos
