About Me

Now living in New York state in a small town named Athens that sits on the west bank of the Hudson River and just to the east of the Catskills. Founded and for six years hosted the readings of the Woodstock Poetry Society, in Woodstock, NY, and have started a poetry venue in Athens. Worked for IBM for many years, fifteen of them in management. Spent many years as an editor and still enjoy trying to communicate in the English language.As a poet, I've written about 1,500 poems to date. [I've put 100+ poems of mine on a website ( Click here ) for those who are interested.] I've also written four unpublished novels (egged on by www.nanowrimo.org). One of my current activities is learning a little about resource management (forests, water, oil, etc.).
