Biography:
I'm a ninth-generation Maryland native
who knows and loves history. I attended the College of William and Mary
in Virginia where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in
1964. After college, I enjoyed a thirty-three year career at the Naval
Air Station, Patuxent River, Maryland. In my Navy career, I achieved
recognition for innovative work that was widely published. My
collaboration with Naval test pilots and engineers spanned virtually
every facet of the aircraft flight test work at the Patuxent Navy base.
I served as the Executive Director of the Naval Air Station during my last
three years with the Navy.
Along the way, I studied local history
and published numerous articles in magazines and in the Chronicles of
St. Mary’s, a publication of the St. Mary’s County Historical
Society. My first book-length work was the popular A Most
Convenient Place, Leonardtown, Maryland 1650-1950, which has gone
into the second printing.
My first novel, A Matter of Space,
reflects my strong affection for the important work done by the Navy at
Patuxent River Naval Air Station and the equally important work of the
archaeologists, historians, interpreters and staff at Historic St.
Mary’s City.
My wife Ann and I live in
Williamsburg, Virginia. I'm currently working on a series of
children’s stories and a third novel.
