He worked seven days a week in his mother’s grocery store during high school, earned his journalism degree at the University of Iowa on the G.I. Bill after service in World War II, and became a Big Ten sports broadcaster.
He switched to corporate public relations and eventually became a vice president of a Madison Avenue public relations agency where he solved client problems for seventeen years.
Since retiring from his own spokesperson training business, he has published six books including two on spokesperson training, three novels and this memoir. He is working on a sequel for his latest murder novel.
A widower, he still plays alto sax in a concert band and a jazz band. His two sons are college professors and he has two grandchildren.view less
