I'm married with two children, now grown, and spent many years in front of a computer terminal as a systems analyst for the County of Lehigh. Now retired from gainful employment, I perform at theatres, listening clubs, schools, libraries and arts festivals. I am coordinator for the Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild, Pennsylvania State Representative for the National Youth Storytelling Showcase and State Liaison for the National Storytelling Network. I am also the recipient of the 2008 Individual Artist Award from the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission. I am author of the soon to be published YA fantasy novel, titled "Ailuros".
