Biographie de l'auteur

The author joined the Army at fifteen and served in U.S. Occupied Germany from December 1948 until June 1951. After college, he also served eight years as a commissioned officer reaching the rank of Major before resigning. He worked as an engineer at an oil refinery, a physicist at a nuclear weapons laboratory, a computer center manager, and an attorney in private practice. He ended his career as an attorney for the same laboratory where he worked as a physicist. In retirement, the author volunteers legal services, reads every book he can afford to buy and writes. He has written both nonfiction articles and the novel Jimmy. He has made the study of people an integral part of his research throughout his life. Knowledge of people has been essential for success in his career as an Army Officer, a manager and an attorney. He puts that knowledge to use in this work as he shows how Jimmy begins to acquire that knowledge and how those who have it make use of it.
