I'm a rare breed - a fourth-generation Tampa Bay area native. I grew up in Tampa and graduated from St. Pete High. I served in the US Navy and I am a Vietnam Era Veteran. I have a degree in journalism from USF and was a crime reporter for The Tampa Tribune. I moved into public relations, where I served as George Steinbrenner's counsel on his Tampa Bay activities. I was Press Secretary for the Speaker of the House of the Florida Legislature and Director of Communications for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. I have done my murder mystery parties "on the side" for most of my life. I recently finally got to the point where I could do them full-time. I'm also a singer-songwriter, swing dancer, and karaoke junkie.
