Author of the novel “Look for Something Good,” I was born and raised in the Bratwurst Capital of the World and from there went on to work at newspaper copydesks around the United States and overseas until settling 10 years ago in Carson City with my beloved wife Lisa. I am a writing coach/tutor at Western Nevada College and am working on a second novel which, in the same spirit as “Look for Something Good,” is intended to be an uplifting story of goodwill and perseverance sprinkled with lighthearted dashes of humor.
