After serving 3-years in the Marines and hitch-hiking for 2-years across the country I wound up working for 35-years as an advertising copywriter, creative director and broadcast producer. Now retired, I've written and digitally published several children's books under 'A Collection of Grandfather's Yarns." I've also written several TV Pilots (with Series Bibles) and screenplays. Some have finished as finalist and semi-finalists in major competitions and my work is rated among the top 10% on Coverfly.
