Howdy folks! Thanks for visiting my Goodreads Author page! Just a few words about me: I am a native of southern New Jersey and analytical chemist by trade. I owned and operated a New Jersey State Certified Environmental Laboratory for approximately 30 years. I retired from the business in 2018 and now live in South Carolina with my wife, son, daughter and an array of unusual pets. I produced "Payton Finds His Purpose" over a six-year span. It was inspired by our family’s experiences living along the Rancocas Creek in Delran, NJ. My intent was to produce a work of Christian based art celebrating the Glory of God. I wrote, edited, illustrated, designed, formatted and published the book on my own, so I'm solely to blame for this thing! Over 4200 copies of the book have been downloaded since it's release in September 2020. Sincerest thanks to all who have read the story and especially to those who have reached out to me. I am humbled and honored by your support!

Thanks again and have a great day!
