I was born in New Orleans, LA to a family of ruffians. As lovable and courageous and enchanting as they all were, I knew I was the roughest of all the ruffians. We moved many times growing up: New Orleans to Cape Cod to Hawaii to Rhode Island (back) to New Orleans (back) to Hawaii, then off I went to college at Loyola Marymount University in L.A., where I began writing my first screenplays. The screenplays turned into novels, and THE GNOME EXCHANGE PROGRAM was my 2nd attempt at the novel format. And now it is a bona fide book, full of comic adventure and irreverent zaniness. It beats to a wholesome drum, for ages 12 and up. I borrow a lot from my ridiculous Italian family, and all the other voices in my head.

I currently live with my lovely wife Julie, and our 3 kids (with one on the way) here in Seattle, Washington. I work with children diagnosed with autism, and I'm currently headed back to school to become a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst.

Also I love sandwiches more than your average bear, and my next novel is most likely about dinosaurs.

Check out my blog I write from the P.O.V. of one of the characters in THE GNOME EXCHANGE PROGRAM: www.Krampusnews.com
