Greetings! I'm an active duty Naval Officer who left NJ at the age of 17 to attend the US Naval Academy. Despite being trained as an engineer, I try and flaunt my creative side. GOD DOES HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR, my first book, was one of those creative outlets. It is my take on the funny and not so funny things that have happened to me in my life, drawn from my experiences as a teenager in a very Italian family in NJ, being in the military, and beating cancer. It has gotten some great reviews, and I was humbled to receive the 2007 Gold Medal for Humor from the Miltary Writer's Society of America. « less
