I was born and raised on Long Island. As a Brooklyn Law School graduate, I have had a  distinguished career as an attorney for over 35 years, and while I enjoy practicing law, my first love has always been writing. Beginning simply as a hobby in high school, writing has grown into a passion that has become a dominant force in my life.
   Over the years I have created a portfolio filled with short stories, poems, and books. In 2014 my first novel Everywhere That Tommy Goes was published, a psychological murder mystery that won Reader’s Favorite Mystery Book of the Year in 2015 and was a finalist for the IndieFab Mystery Book of the Year as well. In 2022 my second novel, Unmasked was published and has received many five star reviews. At the end of 2023 I published my third novel, The Fearless Foursome,  which was actually written in 2008 but never previously published. It is a young teen novel that is a coming of age story about four young boys who must figure out how to survive in the wilderness. During 2023 I had an inspiration and wrote an instructional guide for writers who want to become authors entitled So You Want To Be An Author?  It is my short foray into non-fiction and served as a diversion while writing my next book. All are available on Amazon. My latest novel, Where The River Runs Red was published in August of 2024 and won First Prize in the Fall 2024 Bookfest Crime Thriller genre. I also look forward to writing my next novel in my continuing desire to entertain readers.
