My writing skills have been among my most reliable for over 30 years as a U. S. Marine Corps officer and a municipal police member. They have also proven extremely satisfying and I spent much of my spare time as a freelance writer in my off-duty hours and subsequent to retiring. My articles were published in various monthly magazines, a local newspaper, as well as on the Internet. I have composed lesson plans of literary works for an Internet website, and was also employed as a college instructor of American history and government.
