Bio:
When I remove my writing cap, an ideal day might find me engaged in my favorite activities. Like attempting to create some land art in my Eden Prairie, Minnesota backyard. Or maybe eating at a mom and pop diner. Perhaps listening to live music at an intimate neighborhood tavern, viewing a theatrical performance at a small venue, laughing with a comic on stage, visiting an artist studio, browsing shelves at an independent book seller.
In other words, exploring the diversity of interesting people, places, and artists that make the Twin Cities such a unique urban environment. And not just in the city neighborhoods. Day trips into the lush beautiful Minnesota countryside, discovering small towns and their unique culture.
I’m privileged and lucky to indulge my enjoyment and support for the small businesses and artists who deliver Quality while escaping the corporate and political purveyors of their ugly absence of Quality.

Paperboy (May 5, 2026)
In 1960, Tommy became a paperboy—a huge undertaking for a kid who was a blend of wimp and nerd with marginal athletic skills and a poor student. For six years, he delivered the news to eighty-eight houses, creating a catalog of human behavior that is as hilarious as it is poignant.
But this isn't just a nostalgia trip. The paper route was the beginning of a lifetime of observation. Tom, as an older man reflects on a life of four wives, fifty-eight jobs, and a dedicated goal of leisure. Someone who has never met a responsibility he couldn't put off, Tom offers a collection of thoughts on everything from decision-making—which he considers a "pain in the ass"—to a guide to surviving life’s absurdities.
Paperboy feels like a comedic rant delivered by an old friend. A story that is blissfully irreverent and unexpectedly wise, dissecting human behavior with humor and heart. It is a funny, insightful look at a life spent trying to understand the universe, Paperboy is a comedic expedition into the world of growing up and the greater absurdity of growing old.
