a passionate storyteller with a deep appreciation for nature, adventure, and the special connection between humans and animals. Inspired by my travels, I crafted Icy the Iceberg during a breathtaking voyage to Alaska, Squirrelly the Squirrel and Starlett after observing the playful wildlife on my wooded property, and Snowy the White Dove of Love to continue my heartfelt mission of educating and inspiring young readers. My stories seamlessly blend science, imagination, and timeless life lessons, inviting children into a world of discovery and wonder.

As devoted husband, father, and grandfather, I live with my wife in the Chicago suburbs, where my love for reading and storytelling remains an everyday source of inspiration. Writing and storytelling are my true passions, and these books are just the beginning—many more adventures are on the way.
