After majoring in physics and pre-med at the University of Maine I found myself in NYC working as an executive fundraiser for a multinational non-profit. Six years later I was swimming with whales, running my own adventure dive boat, and searching for sunken treasure. I've been a commercial fisherman, charter boat captain, captain-for-hire, camera boat operator, and Hollywood boat wrangler. In 1987 I started to write for a few recreational and commercial boating and fishing magazines. I then tried my hand at screenwriting, and in 1998 placed a script in the top 25 of the Nicholl Screenwriting Contest sponsored by AMPAS. In the years that followed I managed to option a few scripts but never hit the jackpot and had one made into a film. My first book, What They Don't Tell You About Alzheimer's—about my mother's struggle with AD, was published in 2012. A few months later I published my first novel, Calamity, about a cash-strapped Maine charter boat captain who starts working as a P.I. specializing in maritime investigations.
