After graduation from the United States Naval Academy, I was selected for nuclear power training and submarine school. I served on two nuclear submarines during the Cold War, the attack submarine USS Jack and the ballistic missile submarine USS Lafayette.

Following my tour on Lafayette, I resigned my commission and began a forty-year career in the commercial nuclear power industry. I held management positions at operating and new construction nuclear power plants and as a management consultant to US and international electrical utility companies, the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense.

I retired to the southern coast of Spain in 2018 and began my first novel. I post military-related articles on my Substack blog Peace Through Strength.

For peace and relaxation I work on my hobby: building military scale models.

I am currently working on my next novel, Undetectable.
