I’m a storyteller. I like to hear, read, and write great stories. Today I am a full-time writer, but earlier in my life I’ve been a theoretical physicist, a labor union organizer, a high school teacher, and a software entrepreneur. Read the blog post Changing Careers for some details. I live with my wife Leslie Parker and our miniature poodle Charley on an island in Portsmouth harbor on the New Hampshire seacoast. Charley and I compete in dog Agility meets around New England. Here we are practicing.
