Short Bio

I’m a second-generation Italian-American born and raised in Massachusetts. I have served in the Marine Corps and later worked as a biologicals company representative, an organizer, and a Maine historian, but the latter only because the Univ. of Southern Maine agreed that, after nine years of night classes, I had earned a B.A. in History. I am now retired and live in Maine with my wife and high school sweetheart, Lorraine, where I spend most of my time immersed in research and writing projects.
