About Us
Who I Am
Although I now live in a large metro area, I am still a country boy at heart. Born in California, but grew up in Wyoming. After graduating from Dubois High School, I attended Northwest College in Powell then went to Oregon to obtain my bachelor’s degree from Eastern Oregon University. Now retired from journalism, he lives in Glendale with his wife, Jeanne. They enjoy football, bingo, road trips, jigsaw puzzles and any other activities we can do together. I have two grown children – Sara in Oregon and Evan in Idaho. Jeanne has a grown son -- Billy, in Phoenix.
My work
An avid reader, it was in Oregon where I started what was a 40-plus year career in journalism at several newspapers in Seaside, St. Helens, Milton-Freewater and Astoria. During my career in Oregon, I won several writing awards from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association. I was also named Junior Citizen of the Year by the Milton-Freewater Chamber of Commerce and coached youth football for nine years. My career continued after a move to Arizona in 2004. I was editor of two newspapers in age-restricted communities – Sun City and Sun City West.
Join My Journey
I have had a passion for writing since junior high school. I published my first book, "The Rehabilitation of Miss Little," in 2018. Three others followed and more ideas are running through my head daily. Aside from my journalism work, I have written some short stories, poetry and a song -- although none have been published. Writing provides me with an outlet for my imagination, which never seems to run out of ideas. My greatest hope is that I bring enjoyment to those who read my works.
