He graduated from the Reading Senior High School in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1963, and Yale College in New haven, Connecticut in 1967, after which he spent four years of active duty in the Army Security Agency learning about cryptography and telemetry, including tours of duty in Turkey and Japan where he was engaged in electronic intercept operations before being honorably discharged in 1971. He then enrolled in the Temple University Graduate School in Philadelphia, supporting himself with the GI bill and a graduate assistantship, eventually earning a Master’s Degree in Psychology in 1973. After working in a local mental health program in Pottsville, Pennsylvania as an emergency services and referral officer for about a year, he moved to Columbus, Ohio, where he counseled drug addicts at a methadone rehabilitation clinic while conducting research with methods of measuring treatment success for substance addiction. He started his career in the securities industry as a financial consultant for Merrill Lynch in January of 1976. In July of 1979, he took advantage of an opportunity to join the Merrill Lynch Market Analysis department at the World Financial Center in southern Manhattan, where he started to develop computerized technical analysis of financial markets while advising the firm’s world-wide sales force about trading and investment opportunities until the 9/11 attacks in 2001, which he witnessed first-hand. Later he took a position writing technical research reports and providing trading advice to institutional clients of a small regional brokerage firm in New Jersey until early 2010 when economic conditions forced his employer to close. Within a month he started writing The Fresno Incident, satisfying a latent life-long desire to write a full-length novel. He and his wife live in Branchburg, New Jersey.ver menos
