Bio

I’ve been a part-time professional 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.

These days I’m mostly focused on writing fiction. My debut novel, Old Music for New People, (The Story Plant), is available in print and as an e-book at all major book stores on the internet. Also, over the past few years, I’ve published a number of short and flash stories on-line and in print journals around the country. A collection of many of those stories will be published in late 2025 or early 2026. My next novel, Sound Effect Infinity, is a science fiction about altered states, 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). It will be published in January of 2025. You can pre-order it now in all the places online (just look near the top right of this page for the link). I am already at work on another book that, with the luck of Afro-Irish Quakers everywhere, will be published by The Story Plant in 2026.

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 media technology company; another is a retired professional baseball player now consulting with a number of sports-related businesses 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 creative director for a tech start-up 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 will always be the greatest accomplishment of my life.

Lastly, there are two things that allow me to believe life is good no matter what: 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.

Feel free to contact me if you have something to say. There are a number of ways:
