The Carriage House

 

 

I was born and raised in Hingham, Massachusetts—a coastal town founded in 1635.

 

After graduating from Hingham High School, I attended Georgetown University, where I studied finance. I also spent time abroad in England and Spain—at Oxford and in Seville.

 

My family spent more than three decades in the steel business in Boston. After its sale, my own path moved through international business, real estate, and teaching.

 

But the constant—often quietly in the background—was writing.

 

Over time, that pull became more deliberate. I returned to the authors who first stirred something in me—Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Ernest Hemingway—and to the discipline of the English sonnet shaped by Shakespeare.

 

About fifteen years ago, I began writing seriously. What started as a search for truth became a practice.

 

The subjects vary—golfers, horses, whalers, soldiers—but the work is the same: to observe, to distill, to say something honest.

 

That work has grown into poems, short stories, essays, songs, and screenplays.

 

Today, I write from the carriage house.

 

I live in Coral Gables, Florida with my wife, Florencia, and our three daughters.
