: About Me

I was first published in 1990 while living above a seaside nightclub in Narragansett, Rhode Island, where I worked five nights a week. I was slipping humorous short stories and articles under an office door of the Great Swamp Gazette, a magazine of art and literature at the University of Rhode Island. Since working in a nightclub was perfect training for college, I started attending the university full-time in the fall of 1992.

I graduated URI in 1996, after being elected the Gazette's Managing Editor for four consecutive years, and freelancing for the Providence Sunday Journal, Narragansett Times, and Westerly Sun. More recently, my works have won thirteen win, place, and show awards on the internet's popular America's Funniest Humor! contest, at HumorPress.com.

These awards have recently been covered in the Hartford Courant, Eastern Connecticut's Chronicle, and the Winning Writer's website.

The Dog was at the Keg Again is a collection of the HumorPress award pieces, and available in Kindle at Amazon by the end of September.

Revenge Served Funny is a work in progress, and soon to be completed.

I live with my wife, daughter, two Asian wolves, and a neurotic Jack Russell in The Quiet Corner of northeastern Connecticut.

I produced a lot of sweat. I joined Bally's for a free month tryout and hit the bikes, punching-in mountain trails on the programs to burn more fat than a grill full of raw hamburger meat. After that it was lots of light weight reps and the steam room, eating small meals every two hou...
