A former Indiana U. (Mark Spitz's alma mater) US Open qualifying swimmer from 1977, in 1986 at 26 I left Attleboro, MA for Los Angeles. While my professional aspirations foundered, creative ones did not. I cartoon and write dour witticisms. My disdain for festive advice givers offers pessimistic readers laughter amid their travails. My work seeks identification with like-minded gadflies with histories of substance abuse, support groups or psych ward travesty. He relays across, not down to interested readers. His screenplay is called Just Like You: "My screenplay features Wanda Long in a psych ward saga after a suicide attempt." My logline is this: As a bawdy inpatient protests clinical mental illness branding her body is scammed for rape drug marketing by a syndicate whose fiscal architect doubles as the ward’s fabled Chief of Psychiatry.

I was a High School All American Swimmer by my Junior Year. The first time I boarded a plane was the Summer of 1977, with members of our team, The Brown Swim Club. We flew on a TWA 767 from Logan Airport in Boston to LAX in California and stayed at The Compass Motel in Huntington Beach and swam at Mission Viejo, where Mark Spitz's last World Record, The 100 Meter Butterfly was broken. Despite receiving a personal letter from Rhode Island Governor J. Joseph Garrahy upon admittance to Brown University, I attended Indiana University and swam for the greatest swimming Coach in history, James 'Doc' Counsilman, transferring to UMass after one year.
