Born
smack-dab in the middle of the last century in Baltimore, Maryland, I
can say smack-dab because I’m old. I worked as a tech in a University
Physics lab after high school, which helped pay for night school
classes there. However, I left Baltimore to travel. I rode my bicycle
around the United States and Canada, worked for a carnival in the
Midwest, and then a bronze foundry in Arizona. Eventually, I settled in
Albuquerque, New Mexico in December of 1976. I was a hod-carrier for a
time, then worked with rats in Cancer Research. I then worked for a
company making PC boards, and then back to the University to work with
proteins, amino acids, and DNA. When I retired from that, I worked for
a winery, which was much more fun. The winery closed, so I work on
movie sets as an extra, and study acting. I write and read poetry,
fiction, and non-fiction. No one has ever paid me for that, but that’s
fine. I enjoy telling my stories.
