Autor

I grew up in lots of places as a part of a military family. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a B.A., I landed a job as a civil rights investigator of race and gender discrimination. That work in the legal field led me to the University of Detroit Law School and then private law practice for thirty years. During my work as a lawyer, I got to help clients from all walks of life and I learned a lot about human strength and frailty... and hypocrisy.
