He was an infographics artist at the Asbury Park Press and later an editor at The Star-Ledger in New Jersey. The writer lives in Arizona with his wife and two dogs, while their three grown children are scattered around the world. When not writing, he's happiest hiking, mountain biking or camping in remote mountain and desert locales with his wife, in search of solitude and the amazing restorative powers of being out there.
