I am a bisexual man. I didn't have sex with another man until recently. I'm a divorced father with two grandchildren. In high school I was MVP in football I'm a retired teacher, coach, and high school principal.

When I first started writing, I never thought I'd be writing stories about gay teenagers, but hope my internal struggles will become a part of my writing and interest gay teenagers who read my stories.

My work is driven by my characters gleefully taking on lives of their own and dragging me along with my notepad and pen at the ready. Even if, to paraphrase Stephen King, you take ordinary people and throw them into extraordinary circumstances to see how they respond, I prefer realism, stories that could be happening right now with your neighbors, your friends, your family, or even you. And since my characters don't always give me a happy ending, I can't always give you one. Which is about as real as it gets.
