I am retired from a large U.S. corporation following a 35 year career as a marketing and planning executive. I am also a retired Artillery Major in the U.S. Army Reserve. Since retiring from the corporate world, I have operated a small marketing and planning consulting business under the name FocusMR and with the publication of The Zambezi Incident have become an author.

 Currently I am an officer and director of two non-profit corporations, one of which is charted in South Africa and one of which is chartered in the United States. Both organizations’ missions are to support African school children. They host an annual event held in South Africa which brings together hunters from around the world. Further information about these organizations can be found on the "Link to OSHC" page of this web site.

 I have hunted African big game in Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. In North America, I have hunted big game extensively in the United States and Canada.

 Previously I have published articles in the following magazines:

• Safari Club International’s Safari magazine
• Wisconsin Safari Club’s Hunters magazine
•  The African Sporting Gazette
• GSPNews - internal publication of Federal Express
• Control Engineering
• TED (The Electrical Distributor)
• The International Business Conditions Digest

 The Zambezi Incident is my first full length novel.

 My education includes a MBA, with concentration in Economics and a BS in Industrial Management; both from Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI.
