I was born in 1970 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where I grew up. Wisely or foolishly, I used my university experience to travel the country, attending schools in Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico and Florida. I paid my way through most of my university days as a gymnastics coach.
Shortly after graduating with a degree in English Education, I was offered an opportunity to help develop a men’s gymnastics program in Namibia. I stayed in Namibia for a year, where I met my wife.
We subsequently moved to England. There I studied for a Master’s in Shakespeare and Renaissance Culture.
I have three children, a son and twin girls. When the girls were born, we decided to return to Namibia. I maintained a modest consulting company in the States which sustained us for our first several years while I launched Leisure Times Magazine, which is now an annual guidebook about Namibia, and has led to some other writing projects.
I am currently researching a book on creation myths and traditions of the indigenous peoples of Namibia.view less
