Professional Summary
As a young child, I was called a sissy, girlie, fag, queer, and homo. Getting towel whipped, stomach punched and spit on were part of my daily world. Then, after forty years as an accountant, I retired in 2017 and became a passionate writing machine. As a senior LGBTQ+ man, I have a unique perspective on the many facets of being LGBTQ+ for the last fifty years. I am a diverse multi-media creative artist, novelist, playwright and performer.
