Profile

Besides writing books and magazine articles, I manage the day-to-day operations here at SMP. After serving 13 years as an active duty Air Force pilot and seven more in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves, I completed a second career as an engineer in the defense industry working on several major aircraft programs like the B-2 bomber and the F-22, F-35 and F-16 fighters. I tend to concentrate my writing on subjects related to the military and aviation (who would have guessed?) like Cessna Warbirds and T-41 Mescalero. However, I also wrote the historical novel Devil in the North Woods and a short story collection (Pilots and Normal People). Currently, I write the "Cessna Warbirds" column for Cessna Flyer magazine.
