He is a published writer and since 1989 a small business owner. When not writing or managing his business, he spends time at his other passions: dogs, genealogy, sailboat racing, reading, watching movies, following ice hockey and baseball, preparing and eating good food, tasting new wines, listening to jazz, and gardening.
