He ran an environmental consulting firm, a restaurant, huge call centers, and hired, trained, and mentored hundreds of employees. He also made and lost a fortune in real estate, casting him into the downward spiral that sparked this Wonder Valley odyssey.
An avid traveler, he has visited more than forty countries on five continents. he's crossed the equator by plane, boat, bus, and on foot. he's battled forty-foot seas in a thirty-five-foot sailboat, been chased by a wild orangutan in a Sumatran jungle, stared into the black pupil of a rebel Kalashnikov in the rainforest of Guatemala.
He received an M.F.A. in Creative Nonfiction and Screenwriting from UC Riverside where he was mentored by L.A. Times Book Critic and notable author David Ulin. His work has appeared in magazines and anthologies including the Denver Voice and Best American Nonrequired Reading. He currently lives between Wonder Valley and Orange County, California.ver menos
