To start his dream of adventure, he entered the United States Navy at seventeen years of age and served on year in the Pacific at the end of World War II. He was stationed aboard LST 247 and at the age of eighteen, received a honorably discharge.
His father, who was a telegraph operator, taught him telegraphy as a teenager. After leaving the US Navy, he went to business college in Kansas City, Missouri, and after graduating became a railroad telegraph operator with Missouri Pacific R.R. Co. until technology phased out the operators.
He worked for Boeing Aircraft Company for several years and later went to Los Alamos, as security for the Atomic Energy Commission. He finished the last twenty five years of his working career with the United States Customs Service in San Ysidro, California. He has been married over fifty-five years to his devoted wife Shirley; and they raised four children, three daughters and a son. He was an avid skier and tennis player, he loved the challenge of these sports.
His love for travel and reading inspired him to write. His first novel, The Sailor, was published in 2010, and this novel, A Good Soldier was inspired by his father’s life and adventures.
He is active in church and provides leadership for the senior members of the congregation and shares the word of God to his friends and family.
He adores his eight grandchildren and thirteen great-grand children and spends as much time with them as possible.weniger sehen
