I'm a writer at www.rainforestpress.com, with two published novels and numerous short stories. I'm a retired Navy Supply Corps Commander, an inventor, and former vice president of a high-tech packaging company. I've worked as a supervisor at the Port of Long Beach and owned Creative Solutions, a management consulting company. In 2008, I ran for the Washington State Legislature in an effort to improve government efficiency, something I was able to do successfully in the military units in which I served. Working from our large timbered property on the edge of the Olympic Peninsula rainforest, my science journalist wife and I spend much of our time reading and writing about new technology. I've been engaged in the community for the past several years, having served as Scoutmaster for our identical twin sons, now both Eagles, college students, and serving in the Air National Guard. My passion is identifying problems and arriving at workable solutions, often using evolving technology, or just plain common sense.
