![]() I was three months old when I committed my first crime - smuggling Solidarity propaganda paperwork to Polish resistance leaders who were behind bars. To outsmart the Communists, my mother snuck them in my diaper. We were eventually deported to the United States, and my family started with near nothing. No one spoke English, we only had 2 pieces of luggage, and $200's between us. They worked any job they could. Despite the odds, we made it. I am now a Dad, a writer, apiarist, and Green Beret. I've travelled to over 40 countries, run with the Bulls in Pamplona, and seen some amazing things. I've since started writing Some of my stories are pure fiction and others are rooted in near-truths. Whatever the genesis, I loved creating, discovering, and challenging the people (and characters) within these stories, and I'd like to share them with you.
