I am a husband, father, attorney, professor and award-winning author of several literary works.
The main objective of my writing has always been to enlighten and entertain readers with obscure local New York history that has largely been under reported and often cries out for justice. Whether it be fictional crime novels, a Labor Union themed children's book, or compelling historical nonfiction, I have never wavered from this storytelling objective.
In 2024, I was bestowed with the Joseph F. Meany Award by the Association of Public Historians of the New York State in recognition of my book "Long Island Migrant Labor Camps: Dust for Blood" (History Press, 2021). This award is given in recognition of excellence in a military, maritime or labor history project or publication in New York State.
