I’ve been a freelance writer since I published my first article on appropriate technology education with RAIN: Journal in 1985. Since then, I’ve published work with the likes of The Harvard Business Review, BioCycle, Huffington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, TalkingWriting, GetUnderground, Resource Recycling, BuzzWorm, etc. I was also a contributing editor to InBusiness (the 2nd best sustainability publication of all-time) for over a decade. My freelance work came on top of environmental planning and management consulting projects I worked on for 30 years with government, business, and nonprofit clients, writing text books, manuals, handbooks, and technology guides.

My most recent novel, Sound Effect Infinity, (originally published as an Ebook by small press The Story Plant) is a science fiction about altered states of consciousness, the mystery of loud guitar music, and the CIA’s clandestine psychological warfare research beginning in the 1950s going all the way up to the present day and beyond. Sound Effect Infinity was re-published in February 2026 by Flat Branch Press as a special hardcover edition. It will be available as both a print book an ebook by the end of the spring. An audio version is planned for the fall. Get on my mailing list (look to the right) to stay abreast of those developments.  

My debut novel, Old Music for New People, (also originally published by The Story Plant), will be re-published in all formats in early 2027. Also, over the past few years, I’ve released a number of short and flash stories on-line and in print journals around the country. A collection of many of those stories is planned for 2026 or early 2027. I am also at work on another book that, with the luck of Afro-Irish Quakers everywhere, will be published by Flat Branch Press in early 2028.

On a personal note, I’m the proud father of three adult sons who continue to amaze me every week. One is a program director with a pretty large internet technology company; another is a retired professional baseball player now consulting with a number of sports-related businesses, establishing an investment fund to support them, and still competing at the highest levels of elite athleticism winning two Hyrox (google it) pro championships with his doubles teammate; and our youngest is a partner in the media support company Orbit Lane, as well as the creator of “That Dance Show.”

I made parenting my top priority from the age of 30 to 55. Twenty-five years of herding three boys around Philadelphia and America will always be the greatest accomplishment of my life. When I say “top priority” I truly mean that. Everything in my life was secondary to my sons (well, I also had a partner who just happens to be the great love of my life who felt the same way about our sons). 

Lastly, there are two things that allow me to believe life is good no matter what is going on out there: music and baseball. If it weren’t for those two things (and True Love, of course), I don’t think I would have made it very happily this far in life…actually, what would be the point of making it at all?

And please consider buying my books in large quantities for everyone you know and love. In this day and age where it’s virtually impossible to know what to give people as presents because all anyone seems to care about is what’s on their phones, books stand out as unique and – still – vitally important. Hardly anyone reads real fiction anymore, but everyone knows they should. Books as gifts are probably the quickest way there is to saving this world from its slow demise into non-thoughtfullness.
