Although born in Milwaukee, the author grew up in Canada, in Edmonton and Vancouver. His college and adult years were spent in Texas, split between Houston and Dallas. He retired early from a banking career and now lives in Rockport, Texas. The Pacific Northwest instilled in him a love of the outdoors. Family traditions instilled in him a strong Christian emphasis that carried over into adulthood. An MBA was earned in Houston, and later in life, an advanced degree was earned at Dallas Theological Seminary in biblical studies. He hopes to spend the bulk of his retirement years back in the PNW (Pacific Northwest).
