About Me
When I was a teenager I wanted to be a mate on a fishing boat. Alas, I was too young to get working papers and went on to college, getting a PhD and becoming a mathematics professor at a mid-western university. The late '60s and early '70s were exciting times, and I learned the hard way about political correctness. I then had the opportunity to do art and discovered being a starving artist may be nice in theory but not much fun in practice. I got lucky and eventually found a job with Big Blue (IBM) and kept thinking over the next twenty-three years that I'd find the time and the energy to get back to mathematics or art. Not a chance!
Retirement provided leisure to write. I never realized how much work is involved nor the number of rewrites necessary before a book is ready for print!
For fun I teach yoga, swim, sweat in a sauna, and in the summer run white water rivers in northern Wisconsin with my son. I try to attend as many chamber music recitals as I can in Milwaukee where I reside.
Meanwhile my wife and beagle are still trying to house-break me.
