: About Me

Nationally, I am best known as the author of the Amazon Kindle Bestseller WADE OF AQUITAINE, which has ranked as high as #2 in Adventure novels, #2 in War novels, and #3 in Action/ Adventure as an eBook. As of April 17, 2008, it became available to Amazon customers in a brand new print edition.

Beyond science fiction and fantasy, my byline has graced a variety of articles in education, science, and business. I am author of the soon-to-be published Nonprofit Breadwinner (2009).

My non-profit organization (NPO) experience goes back to the early 1980's when I was a volunteer treasurer required under a new system to justify the organization's allocated share of college dues from the ground up. Under these strict rules, we could have gotten as little as $0 allocated to us, but that year we got more money than anyone had secured for that branch in the history of the organization.

After stints in government, running my own business, and retail, I returned to the world of NPO's in 1996, and have been the executive director of my organization since 2001.

My passion is ...

advancing science education though fact and fiction

My parents always told me ...

The bee stings in life are free

Business > Nonprofits Similarities between nonprofit and for-profit businesses

Those intrepid souls who migrate from the profit ranks to the boards and trenches of NPO's tend to make the same mistakes each time. They scratch their heads and wonder when the place is going to turn a profit. When the veterans disabuse them of that notion, they p...
