I am an award-winning writer dedicated to the art of storytelling across multiple forms, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. My writings have appeared in notable publications like Hidden Compass, where my recent non-fiction story, "Trusting the Smuggler's Route," interweaves the gripping experiences of my wife's mother, a German-Jewish teen who was hidden in France during World War II, with our visit 82 years later to retrace her harrowing escape to Switzerland.

I'm honored to have received the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award for my previous non-fiction WWII story, "The Tides of War." Currently, I'm crafting a novel based on both of those stories. I aim to shine a light on the stories of Holocaust survivors, connecting history enthusiasts with the profound resilience of the human spirit.
