The triumph of the revolution and its promise of freedom were short-lived, forcing his parents to make the ultimate sacrifice. Sending him to the United States to escape the communist regime. Barely a teenager and with hardly any knowledge of English, he managed to work nights in a factory while finishing high school, later obtained a bachelors degree from Rutgers University College and continued to graduate from Seton Hall University with a Master Degree. His career in international finance allowed him to travel extensively throughout Latin America and live in several Latin America countries. He acquired a profound admiration for the cultural richness of the Americas, its struggles, its victories, its people. A near fatal encounter with the big C changed his outlook on mortality and with a second chance at life, he decided to pursue a lifelong dream. With his wife's support and encouragement he began writing. The fictional story; "Justified Retribution" is the first of a three book series. He is passionate about classical music and when not writing likes to spend time enjoying his favorite pastimes: cooking for family and friends, movies and books.
