My career path has taken me from the classrooms of the Philippines to the nurse's office in New Jersey, with plenty of adventures in between. While I had wanted to write for several years, I kept putting it off until 2023 when I finally pushed myself to start, and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Since becoming a published author in October 2024, I have published several children's books in English and Spanish and Kindle short stories, including the sci-fi Zoe Vega Series and a western. My first novel, Measured Steps: The Claire Morrison Files, a psychological thriller, is set to be released in February 2026. I am currently working on three children's books, including my next book in The Our School Nurse Series featuring Nurse Jim, and the third installment in the Zoe Vega Series, both scheduled for release in October.

I began in 1984 as a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching mathematics in the Philippines, then continued teaching in American Samoa, where I met my wife, before returning to the United States. In 1996, I became a nurse while transitioning out of teaching, then later returned to education, spending many years working in both professions simultaneously. With over 28 years of teaching mathematics and nearly 30 years as a nurse, I now work as an elementary school nurse in New Jersey. My diverse experiences in education, healthcare, and international living have greatly influenced my writing. Married for over forty years, I am father to four children and grandfather to eight. My wife and I are enthusiastic travelers who love learning about other cultures. We have explored 38 countries and 49 U.S. states. We currently live at the Jersey Shore.
